Edo-Tokyo Museum is a history museum in Yokoami, Tokyo, Japan. The seven-story building by architect Kiyonori Kikutake reaches a height of 62 meters (203 feet).

Life-size replicas of historical buildings and street scenes show how people lived and worked in Edo and later in Tokyo. Visitors walk through reconstructed merchant shops, homes, and workshops that make daily life from earlier centuries tangible.
