Edo-Tokyo Museum in Japan (江戸~東京の歴)
Breathtaking museum of the history of Tokyo during the Edo period. It was established in 1993 and is a must-see during your trip through Japan. Complete guide with photos:
Wonderful place that showcases permanent exhibitions of Tokyo during the Edo period and has additional exhibitions of the World War II period.

Similar: Edo Wonderland
The main features of the permanent exhibitions are the life-size replica of the Nihonbashi, which was the bridge leading into Edo; the Nakamuraza theatre; and scale models of towns and buildings from the Edo, Meiji and Shōwa periods.
The museum is located in Ryōgoku adjacent to the Ryōgoku Kokugikan. It was designed by Kiyonori Kikutake.
The distinctive elevated shape of the museum building is modelled after an old storehouse in the kurazukuri style. One of the center pieces was a drawing of a Dutch vessel in the harbor of Nagasaki which intrigued me.
It also had a copy on display with the official seclution theory which was put into place by the Shogun, isolating Japan from the rest of the world, except for Holland (the Netherlands).
During the French Revolution and the take over of the Netherlands by Napoleon, the little Dutch island Deijima off the coast of Nagasaki, Japan was the last piece of Dutch territory left not under French rule. I found this fact to be quite surprising, to think that Holland was only officially in Japan.
There is a lot to see, so take an entire morning + afternoon to browse through all the items on display. Please keep in mind that the museum closes at 5:00pm.

Established in 1993, the Edo-Tokyo Museum displays the history of Tokyo during the Edo (江戸) period. The main features of the permanent exhibitions include a life-size replica of the Nihonbashi (日本橋, meaning Japan Bridge), which was the bridge leading into Edo; the Nakamuraza (中村座) theater; and scale models of towns and buildings from the Edo, Meiji (明治時代) and Shōwa (昭和時代) periods. The museum is adjacent to the Ryōgoku Kokugikan (両国国技館). It was designed by Kiyonori Kikutake (菊竹 清訓). The distinctive elevated shape of the museum building is modeled after an old storehouse in the kurazukuri (蔵造り) style.
The Edo period (江戸時代/Edo jidai) or Tokugawa period (徳川時代/Tokugawa jidai) is the period between 1603 and 1868 in the history of Japan, when Japanese society was under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate and the country's 300 regional daimyo (大名).
Address: 1-4-1 Yokoami, Sumida, Tokyo, Japan
The museum is located about five minutes walk from Ryogoku Station (両国駅, Ryōgoku-eki).
