Fodor's Expert Review Edo-Tokyo Open-Air Architectural Museum

Located in Koganei, just west of Mitaka, this outdoor museum has brought together 30 historic buildings from around Tokyo. Spread over three zones, there are thatched farmhouses from the late Edo-era and the former residences of politicians and magnates. You will also see charming everyday structures from central Tokyo that date to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The latter includes a traditional bathhouse, old-fashioned bar, and a soy-sauce shop.
