And so now I know a bit about Tokyo's history, the Shogun, life in old Tokyo, concubines, kabuki theatre and more. Model and miniature scale facilities (from those used by commoners to the Shogun and the Emperor) are all meticulously presented with great detail. Interactive exhibits provide good relief from just the visual senses being stimulated. We arrived to find...

One of the best museums I've been to especially with the audio guide. The permenant exhibits provide a real insight into the cultural and historical development of edo and Tokyo. Manageable in half a day easily. Would recommend well above the Tokyo national museum.

This Museum gives a perfect picture of Tokyo during Edo time. I really liked various cycles as one can seat on them.

Evolution of Tokyo very well explained in text and displays, different languages are available "onscreen"; furthermore this museum offers free service of tour guides in some foreign languages(best check this ahead); the displays and maquettes are wonderful, with so much eye for detail. Staff is very friendly, they have nice museum shop.. Really worth the visit.

Simply one of the most interesting museums around. Focus on last few hundreds years of Japan, especially Tokyo. Houses are recreated as they would have been. Models of castles and town life are there to experience. History through WW2 to today are brought to life with artefacts, photos and displays. Young and not so old will have fun and appreciate...

Just next to the Sumo Wrestling Arena (Ryōgoku Kokugikan) easy access from Ryogoku Station.
There's costs for the permanent exhibition or the special exhibition which they change each season or so. The cost of ¥600 for just the permenant or ¥1200 for both if I remember...
We just did the permanent exhibition and went up the elevator to that floor....

We loved this museum! For starters, it's contained in a huge space, kind of like a indoor soccer stadium. Very dramatic when we walked in.
The history of Japan was presented in the most visual ways. Displays ran from detailed, small-scale replicas of an Edo village (home of the shogun) all the way to a full-sized Japanese farm house from...
