There are lots of free things to do in Tokyo, but those 18 years old and under can add more free attractions to their itinerary. Starting Saturday March 18, youths no older than 18 years of age can enjoy free entry at some of the city’s best museums and art galleries.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation for History and Culture has created the Welcome Youth campaign to encourage the younger generation to explore the city’s arts and culture scene without having to worry about money. So from March 18 to April 3, 18-year-olds and younger (born after April 2 2004) can enjoy the exhibitions at the following five art institutions for free:
Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum
Looking at Architecture 2023, Reminiscence of a House
