Edo-Tokyo Museum in Tokyo

The Edo-Tokyo Museum (江戸東京博物館, Edo Tōkyō Hakubutsukan) is a museum of the history of Tokyo during the Edo period. It was established in 1993. 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 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.

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.

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

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！
