Tokyo’s only museum dedicated to looking at the lives led by millions of regular men and women over the years spanning the early Meiji and late Taisho-eras (c. 1868-1923), the Shitamachi (lit: downtown) Museum is a fully hands-on facility with very little meant for merely viewing through glass panels. Play with toys used by Japanese living at the turn of the last century, step inside recreations of shops and homes as they once looked and leave all the wiser and better informed about the lives of the regular J-folk of yesteryear.
