What other travelers are saying about Edo-Tokyo Museum
Great museum for all ages! My wife and I went for an afternoon to escape the Tokyo heat and spent about 2.5 hours here. Tickets were 600 Yen each for the main exhibit. You can drop your bags on 1F or 7F (7F also has restaurant and library, 1F has cafes as well). The miniatures really show detail and such a small scale over a large area. You travel through the past couple hundred years of Tokyo in a very engaging way.
May 2019 my visit to the museum!!An amazing museum of Edo period (From ~1500 until ~1800 year) Incredible and infinite exhibits... They presented life in different aspects of daily life in Japan, There were also many models with the structure of an Edo period area!! Also incredible were the buildings and the figures of people in real dimensions that presented the routine of the time!! I also loved the interactivity they provided.... I remember there were 3 small rooms with how the lamps evolved, it was a real revolution every time... Great experience!
I should emphasize that the museum was an architectural epic, spotlessly clean and there were several ways to tour!!Thank you Japan... Unforgettable experience from the look of the building, the perfect organization and tour even the souvenirs I bought were wonderful....!!
This is one of the best museums I have ever visited. We learnt so much about the history of Tokyo and Japan. With replicas of so many different architectural structures, it is fun and educational. Spare some 3-4 hours for this place. Also there is a cool Japanese version of magic tricks show performed by every hour.
Arguably the best place in Tokyo. You can learn a lot of details about the city and people who live here. It goes from overall history to everyday life of average people in Tokyo.
The best feature is the diorama models. It’s crazy detailed and simply too much of fun to just looking at them. Yet, you can get great sense of how the city was back in days.
Currently, they’re under renewing construction. I’m so hyped how things are going to turn out after four years of renovation!
The entry ticket is 600yen till today.
The Museum is has two portions, one is Edo period and the another portion is how the Tokyo is formed after Edo to current period.
The artwork was simply mind blowing, even the small details were perfect, all are miniature product of old Japan within their residential areas, cars, clothes and how westernisation has established in Japan and many more.
It is totally worth the visit, people who love history and who don’t like history will like these art works, kindly pay a visit you don’t regret.
