Koto City Fukagawa Edo Museum 江東区深川江戸資料館

Walk through the pre-modern streets of Fukagawa at this hands-on museum

The Koto City Fukagawa Edo Museum is a life-size reproduction of a Tokyo streetscape from the closing years of the Edo period (1603–1867). The re-creation goes to great lengths to show the lifestyles of the people at the time, right down to the homes they lived in and the daily goods they used. The museum's lighting also changes to reflect different times of day.
Volunteer guides (including English-speaking guides) are available to explain the exhibits. The museum is a three-minute walk from Kiyosumi-shirakawa Station on the Oedo and Hanzomon Lines, and a five-minute walk to nearby Kiyosumi Gardens.
