Edo-Tokyo Museum

Local HistoryHistoryClosed · Opens 9:30amFrom £800Ryogoku Station (JR Sobu Line)

Das Tokyo Metropolitan Edo-Tokyo Museum zeichnet anhand maßstabsgetreuer Rekonstruktionen, detaillierter Modelle und Alltagsgegenstände den Wandel der Stadt von der Edo-Zeit bis in die Gegenwart nach. Die herausragende Dauerausstellung erstreckt sich über zwei Etagen und beginnt mit einer lebensgroßen Replik der Nihonbashi-Brücke. Anschließend führt sie durch die Edo Zone und die Tokyo Zone. Nach einer fast vierjährigen Schließung für die erste umfassende Renovierung seit seiner Eröffnung 1993 wurde das Museum am 31. März 2026 wiedereröffnet. Die räumliche Gestaltung lag unter der Leitung des Architekten Shohei Shigematsu.
