Our City Expert's Tips


Local Culture
This outstanding museum offers a well-presented local history.

History Buff
Tokyo is not an old city compared to others in Asia or even Japan (only about 400 years old), but its history is one of the most interesting.

Local Culture
The soaring main exhibition space is divided in half, with Edo (as Tokyo was called prior to 1868) on one side and Tokyo on the other. Exhibitions cover daily life from woodblock print making to kabuki theater and fire prevention, but it's way more interesting than that, and a great architectural setting too.
