    Tokyo Sumida-ku Yokoami 1-4-1
    Located near Ryogoku Kokugikan, the museum has been popular since its opening in 1993 as a place to reflect on the history and culture of Edo Tokyo and to consider the future of the city and people's lives. Many foreign tourists visit this facility to enjoy learning about the city, its culture, and the lives of the people of Edo Tokyo.

    Well worth a trip - lovely exhibition, amazing building. I spent around 3 hours looking at the various displays. Truly fascinating and gives a great understanding of the Edo period. Staff were...

    Tokyo Sumida-ku Kamezawa 2-7-2

    This is a hidden gem - you might have seen Hokusai works in your own country as part of an arts tour, but to see his work in his home area is pretty special. The entry fee was reasonable and we...

    Tokyo Sumida-ku Yokoami 1-3-28 (Kokugikan 1F)
    This museum is located within the Ryogoku Kokugikan, and was created to gather and preserve materials related to Japan’s national sport of sumo. The woodblock prints, banzuke (official listings of rank), and ceremonial aprons are sure to delight not only sumo fans but foreign visitors and children alike. In addition to exhibits that change at a pace of six times per years, photos of yokozuna (grand champions) adorn the museum as a permanent exhibition. Admission to the museum is free (though during the three Grand Sumo Tournaments held in Tokyo annually the museum is open only to people actually attending the tournament).

    My girlfriend wanted to see the famous Sumo museum, so we made a special effort to go out to Sumida on our last day in Tokyo. Took us at LEAST an hour to find the place - not even the locals seem to...

    Tokyo Koto-ku Kameido 89-chome

    A nice park that is typical of neighbourhood parks that are not overly fancy. There is an interesting monument in the middle but otherwise just nice for a bit of a walk.

    「桐の博物館」は、大江戸線両国駅と森下駅のほぼ中間、清澄通りから少し西に入ったところにある「桐屋田中」という桐箪笥メーカーのショールームの一画です。あまり身近とは言えない桐箪笥や桐製品ですが、詳しく知ると、なかなか奥深く興味深い世界です。

Tokyo Areas

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
