Lonely Planet review for Fukagawa Edo Museum

This museum re-creates a 17th-century Edo neighbourhood complete with a fire lookout tower, life-sized facades and buildings you can enter. Explore the shops like the greengrocer’s and rice shop, or slip off your shoes to enter the tenement homes and handle the daily utensils and children’s toys. Be sure to note the Inari shrine and the kura (mud-walled storehouses) where belongings were kept for protection from fire and, just as big a danger, Edo’s legendary humidity.
