Edo Tokyo Tatemonoen




We visited the Edo Tokyo Tatemonoen (Edo Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum).

The museum consists of preserved buildings that line streets in almost a town like setting. There are preserved buildings from various eras in the history of Edo and modern day Tokyo that range from an artisan's home/workshop to a modern home of a wealthy family.


This museum is operated by the Tokyo government.

If you are planning to visit the Ghibli Museum on your trip, it is definitely worthwhile to make some time to see the Edo-Tokyo Tatemonoen.

The museum can be accessed via the Chuo Line. Get off at the Musashi Koganei Station. Take a local bus from in front of the station to the museum. It is about a ten minute ride.
