Shitamachi Museum Closure Days in September and October
Overview
Here are the closure days for September and October 2026 at the Taito City Shitamachi Museum in Ueno.
The museum is closed on September 7 (Mon), 14 (Mon), 24 (Thu) and 28 (Mon), and on October 5 (Mon), 13 (Tue), 19 (Mon) and 26 (Mon). That makes 8 closure days in total between September 7 and October 26.
Most closures fall on Mondays, but September 24 (Thu) and October 13 (Tue) do not. If you only avoid Mondays, you could still arrive on one of these two days. On the other hand, September 21 (Mon) is not on this list of closure days. Check the date itself, not just the day of the week, before you go.
When this article was published (September 25), the September 7, 14 and 24 closures had already passed. The only remaining September closure is the 28th (Mon). In October there is one closure each week: the 5th (Mon), 13th (Tue), 19th (Mon) and 26th (Mon).
Many people spend a full day in Ueno, combining the park with nearby attractions. If the Shitamachi Museum is part of your plans, check ahead that your visit doesn't fall on a closure day so you won't have to change plans on the day. October has a closure every week, so if you're visiting around a weekend or holiday, double-check the date.
