Police Museum (Tokyo Metropolitan Police) 警察博物館
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's free museum, relocated in 2026 from Kyobashi to the TOC Building in Nishi-Gotanda, with a police helicopter and patrol motorcycle to sit on.
About
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's museum closed its Kyobashi building in September 2025 for redevelopment and reopened on April 24, 2026 on the third floor of the TOC Building in Nishi-Gotanda. It covers the history of Tokyo's police since the force's founding in 1874, with uniforms and equipment through the ages, records of famous cases, and introductions to today's units from riot police to traffic. The hands-on area is the big draw for families: kids can climb into a police helicopter and onto a white police motorcycle, put on child-size uniforms and try a cycling safety simulator. Admission is free; entry may be limited when crowded.
Highlights
- Police helicopter and white patrol motorcycle you can sit on
- Uniforms and equipment from 1874 to today
- Child-size uniforms for photos
- Mini-theatre and bicycle safety simulator
Tips
- The museum has moved: the old Kyobashi address no longer applies; go to TOC Building 3F in Nishi-Gotanda.
- Free entry; closes early at 16:00.
- Osaki-Hirokoji Station (Tokyu Ikegami Line) is the closest, about 5 minutes.
- TOC Building is a large wholesale-style mall, so you can grab lunch on site.
