The Tobacco and Salt Museum (Japanese:たばこと塩の博物館) is located in Sumida-ku, Tokyo.[1] It was established in 1978 and is run by Japan Tobacco.[2] The museum was originally located in Shibuya but, in 2015, it was relocated to Sumida.[3] The museum has about 38,000 artifacts that show the history of tobacco and salt both from Japan and overseas.[2] It holds a 1.4 tonne block of rock salt from Poland along with other blocks of rock salts that have been brought from various parts of world. There is a replica of a Mayan shrine from South America to show where tobacco was first used.[4]
The museum also has a ventilated smoking room, a workshop room, a reading room and a museum shop.[1]
