Edo-Tokyo Museum

The Edo-Tokyo Museum was built for the purpose of visualizing the future of Tokyo by reviewing the history and culture of Edo (the former name of Tokyo) and Tokyo. The museum is 2.4 times larger than the Tokyo Dome and has a unique architectural design featuring a high-floor style. In the regular exhibition room 2,500 works of ukiyoe (Edo period woodblock prints), picture scrolls, kimono (traditional Japanese costume), antique maps and 50 large architectural replicas are on display. The replicas vividly transport viewers back in time to the Edo period.
