basic information

Takahashi Korekiyo's Residence

Public Bathhouse

The Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum exhibits a range of historic buildings from the Tokyo area. The buildings were relocated or reconstructed there in order to preserve a chapter of architectural history, which has been almost completely lost in fires, earthquakes, wars and city redevelopment.

Most of the buildings exhibited are from the Meiji Period (1868-1912) or more recent times, and include among others, a politician's elegant former residence, a farm house, a public bathhouse, various shops and a police box.

The Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum is a branch museum of the superb Edo-Tokyo Museum.
