Is Tokyo National Museum worth it as a couple?

Worth itAs a couple

As a couple, Tokyo National Museum works.

If you care about samurai swords, ukiyo-e, Buddhist sculpture and ceramics, this is the deepest and best-curated hit in the country, and it's calm. If you don't, it's a big traditional museum and can feel like homework — the Honkan (main hall) alone is the highlight reel.
