Day 2 A trip back in time



We took a trip back in time to the Fukagawa Edo Shiryoukan.



The museum preserves buildings from the Edo era in a an indoor museum. Each building is furnished based on the life of a fictional person. There was a modestly furnished home of a new resident in Edo working as a street vendor. This room did not have tatami and had very little personal belongings.

There was a more upscale room that was occupied by a well to do shamisen instructor. The room was furnished with a stately dressers and fine kimono.
