China

Japan
  Neither NYK Maritime Museum (Nippon Yusen Rekishi-Shiryokan), near to which is the historic tall ship the Nippon Maru, nor Yokohama Maritime Museum actually get you a museum website.
  http://www.funenokagakukan.or.jp will take you to the Museum of Maritime Science in Tokyo, but the site is in Japanese, a brief English look is at http://www.funenokagakukan.or.jp/index_e.html
  The Osaka Maritime Museum has no website.
  At Sasebo near Nagasaki is the Japanese Maritime Self-defence Force Museum, for its web page see http://www.fort-mchenry.navy.mil/default.aspx
