Have you ever seen the film series Otoko wa Tsurai yo (It’s Tough Being a Man)? It was a beloved series about a wandering salesman from Shibamata and his struggles as he tries to find love and settle down. The Tora-san Museum is dedicated to this series, and is home to paraphernalia, costumes and set designs from the series. Not only is the museum a great homage to the series, but it is also a great portrayal of Japan in the 60s and ’70s. Even if this is the first time you have heard of Otoko wa Tsurai yo, we recommend you check out the museum for a trip to Tokyo’s past!
