Tobacco & Salt Museum - Tobacco Part

"History and Culture of Tobacco" exhibitions are on the third floor of Tobacco & Salt Museum.

Exhibitions include collections of pipes and devices for tobacco from all of the world.
These pipes are so big that I guess smoking in the past is something special.

Tobacco store in Edo era shows tobacco culture and history of Japan.

This museum has a hall, a library and a room for multi purpose where you may eat and drink.

Tobacco & Salt Museum - Salt Part

Tobacco & Salt Museum was moved from Shibuya to the current location recently since old space was not big enough after 35 years of activities.

There's a symbol monument in front of the museum which was used as a sign of Tobacco store of Sweden in 19th century.

On the second floor, there're special exhibition room and permanent exhibitions about salt.
Permanent exhibitions are titled "The World of Salt".
Exhibitions include sculpture of rock salt, 1.4 ton block of rock salt, how to make salt in Japan.
