Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,176 reviews
The Tokyo Metropolitan Edo-Tokyo Museum opened its doors in March 1993 as a space to reflect on the history and culture of Edo-Tokyo and envision the city and life of the future. Housed in a unique building modeled after an elevated-floor type warehouse, the museum has been a landmark and popular tourist attraction in Tokyo since its opening. The permanent exhibition, showcasing original objects and replicas, offers visitors a journey through the 400-year history of Edo-Tokyo since Tokugawa Ieyasu entered Edo. In addition to the permanent exhibition, the museum holds special exhibitions at the first floor gallery five to six times a year and carries out various other events, including lectures and workshops on the history and culture of Edo-Tokyo. ※As part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s measures to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, Edo Tokyo Museum will suspend or cancel museum-organized exhibitions and other events from April 25 (Sun) to May 31 (Tue).

When we went, we chose a Saturday to see the live re-enactment of Edo-period music and dance. (Found those details on Peatix) and we were not disappointed! So beautiful! The museum itself was also very impressive. Loved the Bridge and Home Replicas, a few interactive exhibits to touch and try, and the audio guide fits on one ear and starts talking about the exhibit you are near by tapping it to the sign or walking near. Very wonderful sights and experiences here. Beautiful views and explanations and simply an amazing museum all around!

For traditional garden aficionados, this rather small garden, easily accessed from nearby Sumo arena has a little secret to know! The pond is fed by water from the nearby Sumida river, which is also fed by Tokyo bay.So, across the pond are the stepping stones or "tobi ishi" which can be crossed by visitors depending on the sea tides! Try your luck !?

This was great especially on a rainy day. We caught the 39 bus which stops two minutes away. It is 200 yen to enter. We were there a couple of hours. There are lots of interactive exhibits. The signs are in Japanese but have QR codes for the English. We didn’t bother because we could see what the items were. Overall a very fun museum.

I went before the sunsets, so I managed to get 2 different views of daylight and night view, it is really a must go, the views is fantastic and worthwhile and i can say it is worth a million dollar view night scenery if you really cannot afford too much time. the building has a lot of food and shopping below which you can spend few hours . I have hours of wow wow , impressed by the various views 360degrees and big glass panel and transparent glass flooring, etc, etc

My cousin took us to Sumida Aquarium last week. It was awesome. For a small aquarium, it had as much versatility as some much larger aquariums I've been to around the world. There were goldfish from around the world, penguins and varieties and stages of jellyfish as well as many other unique aquatic life.
