Fukagawa Edo Museum

Fukagawa Edo Museum, Local history museum in Koto, Tokyo, Japan

Fukagawa Edo Museum is a local museum in Koto, Tokyo, housed in a four-storey building with a light grey tiled facade and a glass entrance wall bearing the name in Japanese. Inside, a life-size replica of the Fukagawa Saga-cho neighbourhood from around the Tempo era (1830s–1840s) fills a covered hall, with 11 buildings including houses, shops, a theatre, a boathouse, a tavern and a fire tower, all built using traditional techniques.

The museum opened on 16 November 1986, after the facility itself was established on 1 October 1986; the Koto ward office's Shirakawa branch opened at the same time. It closed for renovation on 1 July 2009 and reopened on 24 July 2010. Its life-size recreation shows the Fukagawa-Sagacho streetscape of the Tempo era, around the 1830s and 1840s.

The reconstructed buildings show how people lived in this area two centuries ago, and visitors can enter traditional Japanese homes by removing their shoes as was customary then. The rooms are filled with everyday objects that demonstrate how families and neighbors organized their daily routines.

The museum is three minutes on foot from exit A3 of Kiyosumi-shirakawa Station on the Toei Oedo and Tokyo Metro Hanzomon lines, and is also served by bus routes stopping at Kiyosumi Teien-mae and Kiyosumi-shirakawa Station-mae. It opens at 9:30 and closes at 17:00, with last admission at 16:30. It is closed on the second and fourth Mondays of each month (the following day if that Monday is a holiday), over the New Year period, and during occasional maintenance closures.

The museum uses changing light and sound effects throughout the day to recreate different times of day and seasons in the historical neighborhood. This technique lets visitors experience how the area felt and looked at different moments.
