The Tokyo National Museum - The Oldest Museum in Japan This video, titled "[Sword World] "Tokyo National Museum - A Place Full of Swords|Sword Exhibits: Japanese Swords at a Museum|YouTube Video" (【刀剣ワールド】「東京国立博物館」刀剣に会える場所|刀剣展示 博物館の日本刀 YouTube動画), was uploaded by "[Touken World] Japanese Swords - YouTube Video" (【刀剣ワールド】刀剣・日本刀・刀・剣 - YouTube動画). The Tokyo National Museum, introduced in the video, is located in Taito, Tokyo, in Japan's Kanto region, and was founded in 1872, making it the oldest museum in Japan. The Tokyo National Museum consists of six exhibition halls and archives, and is dedicated to the collection, storage, exhibition, research, and dissemination of Cultural Properties from Japan and the East. The museum has more than 117,000 items in its collection, the largest number of National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties of any museum in Japan. This article introduces the Tokyo National Museum alongside the video. Check Out the Swords on Display on the First Floor of the Tokyo National Museum's Main Gallery Photo:A sword on display at the Tokyo National Museum On the first floor of the Tokyo National Museum's Main Gallery (Japanese Gallery), the exhibits are divided by field, such as sculpture, ceramics, and swords. The highlight of the museum is the swords in Room 13 on the first floor. Many of Japan's most famous swords are housed here. Japanese swords are said to have originated in the Kofun Period (around 350-700 B.C.), when they were used for rituals. With the rise of the samurai in the mid-Heian Period, they took on the form we know today. In the sword display area, the legendary Mikazuki (三日月, Crescent Moon), one of the Tenka Goken ("Five Greatest Swords Under Heaven"), is displayed in the museum's collection. The swords on display at the Tokyo National Museum can be seen from 1:20 in the video. Fascinating Attractions at the Main Gallery of the Tokyo National Museum Photo:The Tokyo National Museum The Main Gallery of the Tokyo National Museum has a lot more to see than just swords! The marble staircase at the entrance to the Main Gallery of the Tokyo National Museum is a sight to behold. The marble staircase has been used for filming TV dramas and pre-wedding photos. Also, on display on the second floor of the Main Gallery are exhibits that follow the trends of Japanese art throughout the ages, from the Jomon Period (14,000 BC to around 400 BC) to the Edo Period (1603-1868 AD). If you're a first-time visitor, be sure to check out the second floor first and learn about the history of Japan! There is also a museum store on the first floor, selling around 4,500 kinds of stationery, picture postcards, exhibition catalogs, books, and other original museum goods. The exhibits are changed frequently. Please check the official website for information on current exhibits and schedules. Visit the Japanese Archaeology Gallery With the Main Gallery! Photo:Heiseikan at the Tokyo National Museum The Heiseikan is the best place to visit along with the Main Gallery of the Tokyo National Museum. In the archaeological exhibition room on the first floor, archaeological artifacts from the Stone Age to the modern era are on display. You're sure to find something interesting! On the second floor, there is a special exhibition room where special exhibitions are held. The exhibits change every few months and include a wide variety of items, such as bird and animal caricatures and Buddhist statues. Be sure to check these out along with the permanent exhibits. Please note that the special exhibitions are charged separately from the admission fee. The Tokyo National Museum also has the Hyokeikan, the Toyokan (Asian Gallery), the Teahouse, the Gallery of Horyuji Treasures, and the Kuroda Memorial Hall, which reopened in January 2015 and displays the works of Kuroda Seiki. It is difficult to visit all of the facilities in one day, so be sure to plan your schedule flexibly. Summary of the Tokyo National Museum The Tokyo National Museum is an important museum for the history of Japan. The swords in the Main Gallery, which can be seen throughout the video, are a must-see. The swords are regarded by the world as works of art. Moreover, they have become even more popular due to the PC game "Touken Ranbu." The Tokyo National Museum is located in Ueno Onshi Park, and has convenient transportation access. Currently, tickets can only be purchased by advanced reservation. In order to make the museum more accessible, the admission fee was revised in April 2020.

The first generation Gundam statue which was built in 2009 in Shiokaze Park's (潮風公園, shiokazekouen) Taiyo no Hiroba (太陽の広場) was later moved in 2010 to the Gunpla (Gundam plastic model) factory in Shizuoka (静岡市, shizuokashi). In April 2012, approximately 3 years since the original Gundam statue was brought to Shizuoka, it was moved back to Odaiba's DiverCity Tokyo Plaza, only to then be destroyed in 2017 to make way for the new Unicorn Gundam statue that is on display today. Unicorn Gundam is the white mobile suit controlled by the main character Banagher Links (バナージ・リンクス) of the popular series "Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn" (機動戦士ガンダム UC). You can see the life-sized Unicorn Gundam statue in DiverCity's Festival Hiroba (フェスティバル広場) which is located in Odaiba, Koto ward (江東区, koutouku), Tokyo. The statue is an impressive 20m tall and although the building costs have yet to be announced, it is thought to have cost hundreds of millions of yen.

The Yunishigawa Onsen Kamakura Festival: Video Introduction This video, titled "Yunishigawa Onsen Kamakura Festival" (湯西川温泉 かまくら祭 Kamakura Festival), was uploaded by "Nikko Walking" (日光を歩く Nikko Walking). The video introduces the Yunishikawa Onsen Kamakura Festival, an event held in Nikko, Tochigi, in Japan's Kanto Region. "Kamakura" (かまくら) is the Japanese word for "Igloo." The festival features both full-size igloos that are large enough to fit people and small-size miniature igloos with candles, and the atmosphere at night is quite romantic. The candlelight emanating from each igloo is fantastic. Check out the video to see what the Yunishigawa Onsen Kamakura Festival is like. Yunishigawa Onsen, Home to a Charming Igloo Festival Photo:Yunishigawa Onsen, Nikko, Tochigi Yunishigawa Onsen is located in Nikko National Park in Nikko, Tochigi. It's a historic hot spring where Heike warriors, who fled after being defeated in the Battle of Dan-no-Ura during the Genpei War, are said to have healed their wounds with a hot spring they found bubbling up on the riverbank. The springs of Yunishigawa Onsen are simple alkaline hot springs, and are known as beauty springs for their skin-cleansing properties. In addition, Yagen no Yu (薬研の湯), an open-air hot spring managed by a ryokan, is located along the river and can be used free of charge. It's popular among hot spring enthusiasts because visitors can bathe in the hot spring while enjoying the quiet murmur of the Yunishigawa River and the townscape of the fallen Heike Clan. Because of its location along the Yunishigawa River valley, it's covered with snow during the winter. The Yunishigawa Onsen Kamakura Festival is an annual event held from January, when the snow begins to deepen, to take advantage of the accumulated snow. Heike no Sato – The History of the Festival's Venue Photo:Igloos at a festival site, Heike no Sato The Heike (Taira clan) was a family of Taira no Kiyomori who came to power at the end of the Heian Period (794-1185). Heike Monogatari (平家物語, The Tale of the Heike), a historical tale depicting the Heike Clan from its height of power to its downfall, is quite popular in Japan. At Yunishigawa Onsen, where the fallen members of the Heike Clan are said to have lived, there are many hidden stories, legends, and customs that remain. Heike no Sato (平家の里, lit. "Village of the Heike (Taira) Clan") is a facility that introduces the Heike Clan and Yunishigawa Onsen.
