KCP Winter 2016 Students Visit Edo-Tokyo Museum

Recently, KCP Winter 2016 students visited the Edo-Tokyo Museum as a cultural activity: a wonderful way to learn first-hand about the  history and way of life of the Japanese people.

The Edo-Tokyo Museum, located in the heart of the bustling metropolis, gives visitors a glimpse of early life in the ancient city and envisions what the future has in store for Tokyo. The museum opened its doors in 1993 in a one-of-a-kind building modeled after an elevated-floor warehouse. It is a popular landmark and favorite destination of visitors of Japan.

The Edo-Tokyo Museum’s permanent exhibit showcases original objects and replicas of what local Japanese people used at the time in their everyday lives from the city’s 400 year long history since the reign of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Several times a year, the museum also holds special exhibitions located at the first floor gallery. There are also various events, lectures, and workshops focusing on the history and culture of Edo-Tokyo.
