Today I went to the Edo-Tokyo Museum which is very nice. It is in Ryogoku where the Sumo matches and training stables are. It is very much worth a visit if you like museums. It covers the period from the beginning of the Shogunate when Tokyo was called Edo right up through World War II. It includes displays and artifacts on everyday life, art, and major historical events. There are full sized replica buildings in it and lots of interesting things - including the civil engineering features that made a city of 1 million people possible 400 years ago.
