Arjan Timmermans

Visit to get a comprehensive understanding of the origins of Tokyo and its development over the past centuries. Permanent exhibit includes real-size, reconstructed architecture from the city 's past.

Shane Brownell

This is probably a good place to start.. Museum wise. It gives a great overview of Tokyo history and contrasts the prewar and now modern; Edo-Tokyo

Aaron Allon

Well done history of the Edo era and modern Tokyo. Definitely visit here early in your trip. If foreign language tours are available take one, otherwise go with headphone. Plan +2.5 hours.

seda

It was amazing that there are volunteer guides in the museum explaining Japanese history during our visit. It gave me a really good background info. Expect to spend 2.5-3 hours in the museum

Lukasz G

Awesome museum ! If you have a chance get the free guided tour , very nice guides with lots of interesting insights about the exhibition !

Ryuichi Hayashi

Best place to see how Tokyo has been evolved since Edo period (400 years ago). The replica and life-size exhibition is a must-see. English speaker guide available.

Krzysztof Przymus

A lot of information is not translated- only title, without even year or map key or any information.like museum was made only for Japanese. It's better on 5th floor. Special exhibition is must see

Владимир Бородавчук

Must visit place!There are 2 floors of constant exhibition + temporary exhibition on the first floor.I'd recommend to take audio guide. It's free, but you need to leave 1000 yen deposit.

Adnan Alsadah

Amazing place to visit. Provide you history from the edo era and the events and how Tokyo evolved. Must visit if you are in Tokyo.

Kenneth Tiong

Free guided tours . I had a marvelous 1.5 hour tour with a very knowledgeable volunteer guide. Highly recommended

Maxim Ushakov

Best way is take Oedo subway line to Ryogoku station. From Villa Fontain Ueno turn to the right and walk 2-3 minutes along main road to Shin-Okachimachi station of Oedo line , 2d stop is Ryogoku

Harley Acres

A massive museum featuring tons of dioramas and displays showing the history of Tokyo (when it was known as Edo). The Nihonbashi Bridge replica is one of the highlights.

Worth for 600 yen (you can get 120 yen discount founded in Tokyo Guide Book ) you'd have a lot of spare time to enjoy all of museum without rush.

César Ort Ga

Really big museum , but I recommend you to ask for a guide so he can explain better to you everything

Chiranuch Premchaiporn

Very good to see the history of Tokyo back from Edo, in very short period of time.

RikkAte Sbv

Learning a lot of Edo's history here. It'll surprise you!

Hide Kawano

Your one stop venue if you're keen to find out the history of old Tokyo(Edo) and the early history of when it became Tokyo

Emily Faulkner

Great museum ! Must see!

Martin Frojd

Cool building with a built up Edo-style Tokyo street and bridge (!) inside.

Thailand Walker

We can learn some life style and culture of the Tokyo's first period from Edo period.

Anastasia Donchenko

Even though the main exposition only takes 2 floors, don't be fooled. You will need at least 3 hours to go through it.

Liat Gilboa

Best museum in town ! Ask for the guided free tour

JESSICA

Allow up to 2.5-3 hours to get through everything and enjoy the live acts.

Maxim Ushakov

Voluntary guides are available, everyday English guide is, I was on Sunday and there was no Russian one

Hampus Andersson

Super cool museum of you're interested of Japan in the past.

Usama Naseer

Steven Grimm

Budget half a day if you want to see the whole thing in any depth.

Hanna Choconora

Great museum about edo and meiji periods.

Osvaldo Baldi

Great place to know Tokio's hystory!

David Ale

Beautiful one.

Kaylee Lin

They have free 40 minute guided tours ! :)

Munem

Don't bother getting the electronic audio guide - it just reads out what is written by the exhibits , and doesn't work well either

Dennis A. Van Poucke

Awesome museum

Preedee

You can use discount coupon from some guide book .

Jules Falcon

Don't waste time on the free guides if you do not speak Japanese. I'll slow you down and make learnin' harder

常設展 は2015年3月にリニューアルしましたので、2014年以前に行かれた方も新鮮に見れます。個人的に気に入ったのは江戸城本丸御殿のジオラマ 。大名たちの詰め部屋を立体的に把握出来ます。江戸城内での大名たちの行動に興味がある方、上田秀人氏の小説やや『黒書院の六兵衛』に興味がある方にはたまりませんね。

江戸東京400年の歴史と文化を展示 する博物館 。江戸庶民の自然・モノとの共生という生活スタイルを展示 する江戸ゾーンと、大正12年の大震災と昭和20年の大空襲の展示 を通して惨禍の中から復興への力を展示 する東京ゾーンの2つに大きく分けられます。 実物大に復元した江戸時代の日本橋を渡って江戸東京400年の歴史の世界へいざ出発!

rakurai_uboa

真田丸展を目当てに来たが、観覧時間は常設展 と合わせて都合4時間ほどに。この手の歴史博物館 にしては常設展 の内容がすこぶる充実している(特にジオラマ の充実ぶりは凄い)ので、初めて来るなら特別展と合わせて見ておきたい。ただ、それなりに時間は潰す覚悟はいるけども。

Runrun Pyon

มี Audio Guide ให้บริการ สะดวกดี (แต่ไม่มีภาษาไทยTT) ติดต่อขอยืมได้ที่จุดจำหน่ายตั๋ว/Info Counter โดยมัดจำ1,000เยน และรับคืนเมื่อเอาเครื่องมาคืน (มีตู้ล็อคเกอร์อันเล็กฝากของฟรีด้วย มัดจำ100เยน)

Los Viajes de Pitu

Un buen lugar para ver la historia antigua de Tokio. Recomendado????

Rue. SATOH

1F エントランスと切符売場はいつも混んでいるので、比較的空いている 3F 切符売場の利用をお薦め。時間に余裕があれば、ここから徒歩 10 分程度で行ける東京都復興記念館 (関東大震災と東京大空襲をテーマにした博物館 ) も合わせて見学 しておきたい。

jesbrit

La estructura es increible, cuesta todo el recorrido al rededor de ¥1600

現在特別展のダヴィンチ展の音声案内は生瀬さんなのでファンにはとてもお勧めです。

บัตรปกติ 600เยน บัตรนักศึกษาเหลือ 480เยน **ให้เดินขึ้นไปชั้นบนสุดก่อน (มีบันไดเลื่อน) แล้วค่อยเดินดูลงมาถึงชั้นล่าง

Frosiko

Спросите англоязычного гида на ресепшене в начале моста . Бесплатно и очень интересно, только долго, поэтому расчитайте время)))

Es un museo interesante pero me parece que le hace falta modernizar un poco las exposiciones. Esta última exposición fue un lujo. Lastima que la sala que escogieron quedó muy pequeña había mucha gente - Liliana Benitez
