Edo-Tokyo Museum

江戸東京博物館

Tokyo · Kanto

The Edo-Tokyo Museum reopened on 31 March 2026 after a long refurbishment, and admission to its permanent exhibition — life-size reconstructions of Edo-period streets and buildings, tracing the city through fire, earthquake and war — is ¥800 for adults. It opens 9:30–17:30, until 7:30 PM on Saturdays, and closes on Mondays. It is eight minutes' walk from Ryogoku Station.

Why we picked it

Many travelers focus on more famous attractions, overlooking this insightful museum.

Closures

  • Closed over the year-end and New Year period; the museum states 年末年始 without fixed dates, which are announced annually.
  • The museum reopened on 31 March 2026 after a refurbishment that had closed it since April 2022, so anything written about it before that date describes the old building.

Admission

  • Permanent exhibition ¥800 for adults.
