Museo Edo de Fukagawa

Experiencia fantástica: Immerses visitors in the rich history and culture of Edo-period Tokyo, providing a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of its residents. Through meticulously recreated streets, buildings, and interactive exhibits, the museum offers an authentic and educational experience that transports visitors back in time to the bustling streets of old Tokyo.

Experiencia fantástica: Fun and interactive. Most museums should be like this.

Experiencia fantástica: Main exhibit has really impressive detail, not much in terms of English translation or exhibits although there is some, and you can easily get by with a translation app, I believe the museum also offer free English guides if you ask :) Definitely worth the low entry fee! and loved walking around the neighborhood to find the museum too, would recommend combining it with a skytree/Asakusa visit as it's not too fa

Experiencia fantástica: Reconstruction of an Edo village. Magnificent details. Very interesting. The guides are available (free of charge) to answer questions (in English and Japanese) and present the various rooms and dwellings with great enthusiasm and attention.

Experiencia fantástica: June 2023 Interesting glimpse into Japan’s past. The museum staff are informative, and speak wonderful English to help tourists like myself have a better understanding of the history. Don’t complain that it’s a small museum, that’s obvious if you took a moment to check Google maps and read previous reviews. Also don’t complain that there is a small entry fee. Utilities need to be paid, and maintenance is always required. It’s a small fee, so don’t be a stingy tight arse. Note: the neighbourhood is lovely to have a wander around. There are the nicest little coffee shops scattered all over the back streets. The hip Blue Bottle cafe is near by, but plenty other lovely other coffee shops. A beautiful neighbourhood.

Experiencia fantástica: I loved this museum, it’s small but inexpensive to enter. The recreation of the edo era village is so charming and helps you imagine what it was really like. The volunteer guide Yukiko walked me through and explained what we were looking at in excellent English. I’d combine this with a visit to the nearby Kiyosumi gardens for a nice afternoon

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful museum of reconstructed historical life. Must-see!

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent museum! Loved wandering around the recreation of an edo town

Experiencia fantástica: Really beautiful recreation of an Edo-period town using traditional methods. The guides spoke English and were very informative. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: We simply loved this place! Very detailed immersion experience in Fukagawa area during the Edo period. You can visit real scale house models with all the furniture and tools that people used in the time. Extremely interesting! Despite the fact there’s experience and English speaking guides on-site and free of charge if you like architecture and history of Japan, I strongly recommend buying the little blue book that will give more support to your visit. The photo of the book is in the pictures. Use at least three hours to see everything, the place does worth the visit. The guides are extremely knowledgeable! I was very surprised to learn that most of the guides can in fact speak English and will explain everything with much detail. However, One of the guides was guiding a Japanese group and despite the fact that I was with this group, he didn’t explain in English. When a non-Japanese person is joining a group, the guide should turn into bilingual mode but he didn’t. Lucky me I’m fluent but if I wasn’t that would be disappointing. Issues related with the war and the Japanese involvement in it exposed in one of the walls. If you’re taking your children with you be sure to introduce them the true beforehand. There are informative pamphlets in Japanese, Korean, English, Spanish, and French. In this museum you can touch everything! Words by one of the guides.

Experiencia fantástica: very close to train station and easy to find. the tour guides were so helpful, friendly, and very knowledgeable. the exhibit was stunning. you were transported back in time to the 1840s. before covid-19, you were able to enter the houses and touch stuff, but currently you are only able to look. thank you so much for introducing me to the history of edo through this replica village! i had a great time and learned a lot. ありがとうございました。

Experiencia fantástica: 深川江戸資料館 Fukagawa Edo Museum Life size immersive diorama of an Edo Era Japanese neighborhood with views into the homes of various members of the community. There are English language docents who are expert at telling the story of each household. They even have a small inari (fox) shrine. When I visited they had a special exhibit in the front lobby on the great Yokozuna Taiho (sumo wrestler).

Experiencia fantástica: A very nice museum with a real size reproduction of a small village from Edo era. Everything is built indoor so you can go even when it rains or weather is very hot. The museum is not huge but you can easily spend one hour there, visiting the village, looking inside the houses and shops (about 10 buildings), and then having a look at the exhibition of old Japanese pictures (ukiyo-e). When I went, there was also a photo exhibition, probably about the neighborhood of the museum, with very nice photos from the 1980s to now, showing local life and atmosphere. The museum is of course 100% kid-friendly. There aren't many explanations to read, and the few ones present in the village are all available in English. Some volunteer guides are also present sometimes. Entry ticket is quite cheap - 400 yen for adults, 50 yens for children until 15.

Experiencia fantástica: It is a small museum but the volunteer guide really helpful. He guided us with deep explanations (in Japanese) and sometimes using English for a bit complicated words. Unfortunately, due to covid-19 we couldn't get inside the house sets and only saw the sets from outside.

Experiencia fantástica: You will know well about the places and house with the helpful volunteer guide. They show you around the town and explain clearly everything. It was so nice to visit here. Thank you

Experiencia fantástica: Such a cool idea thing to see. We were the only foreigners here. An awesome small museum that replicates what the old Japan used to be like and how people used to live approx 200 years ago. The guides were very nice and did the best they could to explain things to us in decent English.

Experiencia fantástica: Surprising place to find in the middle of a quiet neighborhood in Tokyo. This was a very cool museum with a representation of life in the Tokugawa Era just outside of Edo. There are several accurate reproductions of era-appropriate Japanese buildings furnished with what you would find in them at the time. There is a soundtrack and lighting effects to help you feel like you stepped back in time. You could easily spend hours in this place, and you can enter the buildings as long as you take your shoes off. The guides were volunteers and were eager to show you around and answer questions, even showing you the things that they really likes. One of the guides that helped us even understood and spoke good English, which was a little surprising. I wish I could have spent more time here, but it was only 400 yen to get in, so I’ll try to go again next time we are in Japan.

Experiencia fantástica: An amazing surprise! I had no expectations when I stopped here, and almost didn’t go in when I saw the front desk and entrance. What a huge mistake it would have been! I imagined looking at paintings and some artifacts, which is fine ... but ... they have built a full scale suburban block as it was in the Edo period, complete with lights and sound effects to give illusion of day and night and even inclement weather. It is fully automated and reminded me of The Truman Show. The staff are volunteers and very helpful. The guy I had spoke excellent English.

Experiencia fantástica: Very interesting amd their special exhibits are wonderful. There are lots of staff who speak English.

Experiencia fantástica: On it's own it's a highly detailed reproduction of Edo but what makes this place amazing are the tour guides who tell the story.

Experiencia fantástica: The museum has a number of Edo period houses, many of which can be entered. It’s easy to spend an hour here on a rainy day wandering through. I’d suggest combining this with a visit to the nearby Kiyosumi gardens. Both places are a short walk from each other and the station.

Experiencia fantástica: This may be a small museum but quite enjoyable with the reconstruction of the typical streets of Tokyo which was called Edo until the middle of the 19th century. Both Japanese and English speaking guides are available. Highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: This museum is a great, quiet spot that recreates a life size Edo village with amazing detail. You can explore inside the houses, and try out some of the tools they used. There are free English speaking volunteer guides who have incredibly impressive knowledge about every aspect of the houses, from the Edo-era makeup to the construction of the houses.

Experiencia fantástica: A lovely little spot just down the road from the station. 400 yen to get in. The lighting changes every 15 minutes to give you a feel of a full day back in the Edo Era. You can touch everything in the museum and the guides are very friendly. A few of them speak English too.
