Slip into the atmosphere of a working class neighborhood set in the pre 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake days. A mural on the landing between the first and second floors depicts peddlers, artisans and blue-collar workers going about their daily life during the Edo period. The extensive display of household items gives a fascinating peek into a lifestyle from days gone by. The exhibits have no explanations in English, but an English language guide is available. Guide dogs are permitted and there are wheelchair toilets on two floors.

The museum is small (what isn't in Japan?), but accurately presents a slice of Tokyo history that can't be seen without a great deal of searching. What I really appreciated was being able to enter each of the display rooms and touch the contents. Lots of fun, and quite unusual for a museum, which tend to be "hands off".
