Lonely Planet review for Shitamachi Museum

This museum re-creates life in shitamachi – the plebeian 'lowtown' quarter of old Tokyo – during the 1900s. Exhibits include a sweet shop, the home and business of a copper boilermaker and a tenement house. Docents are on hand to teach games or help you try on the clothes, making for an engaging hands-on visit. There's a list of local onsen (with accompanying photographs) on the 2nd floor of the museum, where you'll also find home furnishing from the 1960s.
