Currently undergoing renovation (scheduled to reopen in 2025), this is Tokyo's definitive museum of city history — check reopening status before visiting. When open, its life-size reconstructions of Edo-period bridges, merchant quarters, and Meiji-era streetscapes are extraordinary in scale and detail. The Ryogoku neighborhood around it is also home to sumo stables and chanko-nabe restaurants worth combining into a half-day itinerary.
