Access: Toei Oedo subway to Ryogoku exit (main exit). The museum will be on your left exiting the station and is quite easy to find. This museum is easily one of the top five I have been to during my travels. It offers something for everyone, from casual observers to aficionados and from children to adults. It is roughly divided... more

One of Tokyo's best attractions -- an absolute must for history buffs. The life-size Nihombashi, theater and Ginza building are quite fun, as is the giant model of Edo. more

I'm not a big museum-goer, but I've gone twice and would go back again. The museum is best appreciated after you've been in Tokyo for at least a couple of days, so you've begun to understand a little about the present-day city. Exhibits tell about the rise of the city from a fishing viliage on the mudflats to the largest... more

The museum is very unique and has wonderful displays and reproductions. The headsets are pretty much a waste of time because they really only narrate what is already posted in English and the signal isn't so great, however they are free (you have to pay a deposit which you get back) so it couldn't hurt to try it. If you... more
