Hi Shane,
I was wondering if you had more details on this museum pass? The website is mostly in Japanese. I would just like to know which museums are in the list of 61 and will the pass give free entry, or just discounted entry? Thanks!

Fiona;
This is a difficult question for me to answer as I cannot read Japanese either, I’m sorry to say, but here is a link to the 61 institutions and a calendar for Spring 2008:

The names of the 61 institutions are in English and have a corresponding websites and contact numbers. Some of the websites may have English versions but I have not had time to check them all.
I have not yet used my Grutt Pass for 2008 but understand that it can offer significant savings if you plan to go to a lot of these venues during a two month period.
Good luck!
