Edo-Tokyo Museum
In the permanent exhibits, places from the Edo period, such as Nihonbashi and theater halls, as well as the Meiji-era venues like the Rokumeikan and the Ginza brick streets, are reconstructed in three dimensions. There are also interactive models of palanquins and rickshaws, alongside displays of ukiyo-e, kimonos, and daily living tools. Special exhibitions are held about five times a year and are also not to be missed.
The museum operates under the basic policy of "Elegance and Excitement," and engages in various outreach activities and research initiatives. The results of these efforts are widely shared with residents and tourists in the facility, which includes a well-stocked museum shop and restaurant.
However, please note that the museum is scheduled to close for extensive renovations from April 1, 2022, until the end of the fiscal year 2025. After this period, visitors can look forward to an even more advanced Edo-Tokyo Museum.
This museum is a valuable place for contemplating the history, culture, and future of Tokyo. It is recommended for families, as it has become a beloved facility where many people can enjoy learning about the history of Edo and Tokyo.
