Tobacco & Salt Museum is dedicated to the history and cultures surrounding tobacco and salt, goods that were once protected by a government monopoly in Japan. It collects resources, conducts research, and introduces a broad range of history and culture pertaining to tobacco and salt. It also extends beyond these core topics to cover a wide scope of themes in the special exhibitions.
The current special exhibition for the museum's 40th anniversary shows pieces from the Vienna World Exposition from 1873, which for the first time are shown in Japan.

With this combination ticket both the regular and the special exhibition can be visited.
