kokugakuin University Museum
The Kokugakuin University Museum is a free museum that boasts 60,000 visitors a year. The museum has a collection of about 100,000 items, mainly related to archaeology and Shinto. About 2,000 items are on display at any one time. The exhibition area is divided into three sections: an archaeological area with Jomon pottery and haniwa (clay figurines), a Shinto area with materials related to shrines and rituals, and a school history area with materials related to the history of the university and the Prince Arisugawa family.
Most of the archaeological materials on display are genuine items. The Shinto area is a must-see, as Kokugakuin University is home to an institute that trains students in the priesthood.
Special exhibitions on a wide range of topics are also held in the Shinto area, providing visitors with a casual introduction to the latest research on Japanese history and culture.
