Yoko’s John Lennon Museum, which is about 30 mins outside of Tokyo, had to be one of my favorite places during the trip.
We got there at opening and had the museum pretty much to ourselves. First you watch a 10 min video of John’s life and then you walk through the different sections of the museum. It’s broken into different segments of John’s life.
Original Rickenbackers were of course a highlight. He loved sanding his models down to the most basic of colours, as did he replace many of the more extravagant gold knobs with simple black ones (not on the Rickys).
A lot of his glasses and jackets were also there, as was many of his personal effects, preserved exactly how it was the day he died.
Really any music fan would appreciate the work gone into the musuem. Musicians and Lennon fans will naturally leave a little sad, but will take away inspiration more than anything else. Think of it less as a museum and more as a journey.
