This museum highlights Omori's historical connection with seaweed
Omori Nori Museum
Omori used to play a central role in Tokyo's production of nori (seaweed), which is still a major part of Japanese cuisine, such as sushi and onigiri (rice balls). Facing Tokyo Bay, Omori was renowned for nori and this museum pays well-deserved homage to this historical. The museum itself has no English text in the exhibitions, but there is a handy English-language guidebook by the entrance, which gives the gist of every exhibit and the museum as a whole. The museum has a compact library (geared toward Japanese speakers), some amazing recreations of what life was like for workers in Omori during the Showa era (1926-1989), as well as some fun, interactive exhibits. On the third floor, you'll find a lovely space with extraordinary views of Tokyo Bay, serving as a respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday Tokyo life. There's a door that leads out to a balcony space, where you can take photos and relax in the refreshing sea air.
