Kasuga Taisha Kokuhoden (Museum)

I went to see the armor exhibition. The opportunity to see two pairs of armor considered to be twin national treasures and the exclusive Kawakami Village helmet together is as amazing as the appearance of Halley's Comet. It is very valuable to the Japanese people. This is not a place where foreigners who cannot understand the splendor of Japan's treasures come in search of a quick thrill like the Samurai Ninja Museum. Finally,don't complain about not being able to take photos. Unlike in other countries, taking photos is not allowed in most Japanese art museums. I've seen foreigners being told off. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Please observe proper etiquette.

Expensive museum exhibition of Samurai Armour. It appears they doubled the price since opening, as other reviews mention it used to only be 700, whereas it is now 1500. I expected a large exhibition based on that price, but it took less than 15 minutes to walk through, was not well air-conditioned and seemed like a money grab. When compared to the Odawara Samurai museum for around 400, this felt like the museum is taking advantage of tourists. When leaving, I heard many other groups also discussing their dissatisfaction.

Nice museum but not a single sign in English, how difficult is it really to have a translation where so many of your visitors are international?

Large and a rather big walk around with alot of detailed culture hidden away in the various shrines and mountain area. Also funny deer 🦌 everywhere.

5 stars except for the crowds. The darkened room with the lighted lanterns is the best part.

Nice to come in autumn. The deer is very friendly. Gonna come again during spring

It was interesting but very expensive admission and there is no English anywhere. Seeing the weapons and drums was interesting but if you can't read Japanese then you won't get any information on anything. Just a little title of what the weapon is and when it was made which was unfortunate.

Interesting exhibitions. We went there last year and really enjoyed the swords and Touken Ranbu collaboration.
