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

Walk through the city streets of pre-modern Tokyo at this immersive historical museum

The Koto City Fukagawa Edo Museum is an actual life-size reproduction of Tokyo city streets at the end of the Edo period (1603–1867). The reconstruction goes to great lengths to show the lifestyles of the people at the time, right down to the daily goods they used and the homes they lived in. The lighting throughout the museum also changes to reflect different times of day.

Volunteer guides are available to walk you through the museum, and some of them are English-speaking. The museum is a three-minute walk from Kiyosumi-shirakawa Station on the Toei Oedo Line, and a five-minute walk to nearby Kiyosumi Gardens.
