This museum has an incredible collection of modern technological ancestors, an audial guide triggered by motion so as you go through the space, you can hear stories of how things evolved and were used in the past. There is a really cool quote on the pamphlet that hits hard in this birth of the AI era: “all media, except paper and stone will become extinct.” It also brings perspective to the types of investments that are prudent for retaining.

An amazing find tucked just a station away from Akihabara. Loved the fact that almost everything was hands on and able to be picked up. The yellow tags you see are scannable and the information is in English and Japanese. We spent a nostalgic and laugh filled hour talking about the things we had when we were kids and the things we hadn’t ever seen before. Worth it if you’re into technology and walking down memory lane.

I visited here 3 days ago & had a really good time. it was fun observing & carefully holding & touching these old pieces of Technology (Film cameras, camcorders, rotary phones, etc.). it makes me think that people once used these in daily life years & decades ago which is fascinating to think about. The owners are polite too which i appreciate & its also a small space as well. if you're into Showa & Heisei nostalgia or retro/ old school stuff in general, its worth checking this museum out. the tickets may be pricey like ¥2,000 for Admission, but i think its worth it. 本当に懐かしい。

This is an awesome place where you can go hands-on with technology that is both old, and might just make you feel old! Marty McFly's camcorder, Japan exclusive phones with every shape, size, and feature, and countless other remnants of a past when electronic design was radically different from what it is now. They also have an incredible library in Japanese and lots of reading material and they encourage you to sit down and have a good read from the past! The staff is super friendly and welcoming. If you are an old nerd or are a computer or technology historian, this place is a wonderland and you will be here for a long long time.

Jam packed full of old technology and retired forms of physical media. Can even pick up and handle objects in displays. Spent almost 2 hours just looking through and appreciating everything the museum has to offer. Also has many old magazines to flip through and I could have easily spent another hour doing that. A must do experience for people visiting Tokyo.
