I recently visited the Police Museum in Tokyo, and it was a fascinating experience! Located just outside Ginza, this free museum offers an interesting look at the history of law enforcement in Japan. The displays, including old uniforms and equipment, were easy to understand even without English explanations. The museum has a relaxed atmosphere, making it a great stop for anyone interested in Japanese history or police work. I highly recommend it if you're exploring the Ginza area or looking for a unique and educational experience.
