Visit to Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum

Located in leafy Musashino, the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum (Edo-Tokyo Tatemono-en) is the nostalgic new home for relics of historical and cultural interest. Buildings of significant cultural merit, including many from the beginning of the modern era, are gathered here. Folklore and living customs are exhibited in the buildings, bringing back to life various aspects of living and business conditions of former times.

If we are lucky, the renowned cherry trees of Koganei Park, where the Museum is located, will be in bloom. Be sure to bring a picnic lunch if the weather is good, to enjoy under the trees. Hope for good weather, and join us in making this an expedition to remember.
