Unko Museum Tokyo

The Unko Museum is a unique and quirky museum located in Tokyo, Japan. It is dedicated entirely to showcasing and celebrating poop or, as it is called in Japan, unko. The museum was opened in March 2019 and has since become a popular destination for both locals and tourists.

The museum is divided into several sections, each with its own interactive exhibits and displays. Visitors can learn about the history of poop, its uses in various cultures, and the science behind it. The museum also has a section where visitors can learn about the digestive system and how it works.
