I’ll be in Tokyo early next month with work, and this sounds like something I’d enjoy. Is it worth going as someone who doesn’t speak much Japanese? If so, I’ll get myself there :)


Hmm, well, I think it wouldn't be easy to make a reservation without being able to read and write Japanese.

Actually TBH I don't know if the owner can speak English :c Normally, first-time visitors are given a quick tour so they can decide whether to become a supporting member or not. I'm not sure how the owner would do that. (Maybe he would ask me to translate? I'd probably do it :p)


I can write/speak enough to make a booking for myself but if there would be alot of complex written stuff like histories and things maybe not for me. Thanks for letting me know :)

Not having much to do isn’t very related to whether a visit is worth it just to see the collection, but I take your point I could have been clearer.


Not even remotely true
