Why go
The exchange makes an abstract financial system visible. From the visitor gallery, the circular market center, scrolling price display and ceremonial bell reveal how trading, public information and institutional ritual occupy the same room. Historical exhibits then connect today's screens with Kabutocho's earlier role as Tokyo's financial district.
What to look for
- Look down on the circular Market Center from the visitor gallery.
