Description

This is the place to learn about Tokyo's 19th century common folk. In those days, the city was known as "Edo," and native Tokyoites (Edo-ko) pride themselves on their connections to this plebian past. Everyday life is reproduced in a rather constricted display area, but the replicas of row houses--which were integral to living in shitamachi (the "lower" town)--are nevertheless noteworthy. The fire water-tower is also impressive. Take a good look at the maps to see how Tokyo has grown.
