About
The Edo-Tokyo Museum (in Japanese; Tokyo Hakubutsukan 江戸東京博物館) was established in 1993 as a museum that celebrates the "Edo Era" of Tokyo (Tokyo was know as "Edo" until 1869). There are a few "main" features in the museum such as a life size replica of Nihonbashi (a famous bridge in the city of Nihonbashi), the Nakamuraza theater and many scale models that demonstrate how life was during the Edo times.
