Last update :

The townscape of Fukagawa Sagacho at the time of the Edo period around 1840 is reproduced in a full scale in the exhibition room extending from the 1st basement floor to the 2nd floor above ground.

There are stores that sell fertilizers, boat inns that welcome and see off visitors by boat and storehouses with white walls on the main street. It also includes a modern-day coffee shop called "Mizuchaya" in the plaza under the fire watchtower, and a stall selling tempura and soba noodles, which could be called "fast food in the Edo period". As you enter the alleyway then, you will see a row of “tenement houses". The family structure, occupation and age of the people living there are set in detail in the houses to display daily necessities that suit each lifestyle.

Entry is currently under suspension to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Visitors are, however, usually allowed to enter the stores and tenement houses in the exhibition room to see how the Japanese people lived in the past even by picking up the tools on display.

The use of sound and lighting will express the flow of time in a day, making you feel as if you have gone back in time. Special exhibitions on different themes such as "Ukiyoe", "Manga" and "Novels" are held as needed in addition to the permanent exhibition. The museum offers "Kimono de Edo no Machi", an experience of wearing a rental kimono around the museum on the 1st Saturday of every month.

    介紹了江戶時代的歷史和街道場景,可以迅速地了解江戶人們生活,場地沒有很大很快就看完了。

    應用整個場館的佈置以及燈光音效設計,加上有專人一對一耐心解說,可以使我們了解江戶時代人們一整天的作息,值得推薦大家去參觀

    當初聽朋友說名字很無趣。實際去逛了跟想像不一樣。很有味道。重現當時景致很好玩
