Japan Olympic Museum — Attraction in Tokyo

This is an Olympic museum in front of the new national stadium in Tokyo. It’s typical Olympic museum. There are some exhibitions on 2nd floor. So not such big facility. They exhibit medals, posters in Olympic history. I was touched a corner which shows all of Japanese Olympian athletes. So I learned that more than 70 years ago, an athlete was killed as military officer. I saw a uniform for Japanese team in the Tokyo Olympic. It is very interesting. Other than such just regular exhibits, they have experience section. You do a same motions as Olympic athlete do and then they show how different with you. There are some spots for that. Just small museum but really interesting and curious. Easy to get in just by 500 yen for each. And you would finish to see all in less than 1 he. So good place to stop by on your Tokyo tour. No restaurant but looks like a small foods...

Stumbled across this place accidentally, but I'm really glad we decided to check it out. It's a relatively small museum, but not so small that the 500¥ price felt inappropriate. There was a lot of really interesting information about the history of the Olympics, as well as some cool interactive exhibits. The highlight for me was the wall of torches which displays every Olympic torch design from 1896 until most recent.

There was also an interesting live event going on while we were there with women from the 2020 Japanese air rifle team (Olympics/Paralympics) demonstrating rifle technique and then allowing participants to try for themselves.

Overall, it's definitely worth...

It is a small exhibition but the content was very packed, informative and interesting. They have sections starting about the history and progress of the olympic movement, Japan history of involvement in the Olympic, Athlete tryout section, small theater, and olympic greatness story section. I personally the story exhibition, you can read a lot of story of athletes, mainly from Japan, how they overcome challenges or achieve the many of the first in the Games. The museum has a lot of authentic memorabilia, especially from the Japan games. I would recommended the museum for kids at least from 10 y.o above to appreciate the collections and understand...
