A quirky and awesome thing to do. Where else could you find a place like this, except Japan? Cute t-shirts and souvenirs, creepy but cool photo opportunities. More

Was a bit hard to find but worth the trip if you have a lot of time in Tokyo (or live here). Lots of weird and disgusting tapeworms and parasites and diseased fish and so on. Definitely do not go at lunch time, you will lose your appetite! More

During our honeymoon in Japan we wanted to visit the parasite museum as we like weird stuff & had read about it. On arrival, we were pleased the museum was free entry. It was quite small though, I has expected a large museum filled with lots of freaky stuff. It was very interesting though & had rows of labelled jars,... More

We had read about this place in a few guide books and on this visit decided to find it which was not too difficult.Meguro is on the Yamanote line and the museum is about 15 mins. walk from the station (it's signposted if you look carefully!) The museum is small but definitely packs a punch. Don't visit too soon after... More

I liked the Parasite Museum, but then again, I love stories about people with guinea worms, filariasis, etc. I think you have to like that kind of stuff to appreciate this museum. My only complaint was that most of the displays were in Japanese. I can't really call it a complaint, because, it is JAPAN, and English isn't their native... More

OK - just kidding about the fun part. Actually, none of the parasites on display looked like any possibility of fun. But an interesting place to visit if you're a science/biology buff. I have visited this museum several times over the years, and as of my last visit, there still weren't English panels on the displays. But that's OK, because... More
