Electric Power Historical Museum

The Electric Power Historical Museum is a collection of over 700 objects related to power generation in Japan. The objects include turbines, transformers, and electrical equipment displayed across a large exhibition space.

The museum documents the beginnings of electricity in Japan, which started in Tokyo in 1887. The building itself stands on a site that formerly served as a major electrical substation location.

The exhibits show how electricity shaped modern Japan and changed the way people lived and worked. Visitors see original machines that reveal how power generation became essential to daily life.

The location is within walking distance from a nearby train station. Opening hours allow visits in the morning or early afternoon.

The museum opened in 2001 and houses one of the first turbine examples from an early Japanese power facility. This machine gives visitors a direct look at the technology that enabled Japan's industrial growth.
