The Edo Tokyo Open air architectural museum is located in western Tokyo in Koganei Park. The museum has examples of building that have been built, in the past, in areas around Tokyo and then moved to this site. The aim of the museum is to ensure that the architectural history of Tokyo, which has been adversely affected by fires, earthquakes, wars and city redevelopment, does not get lost.
There are some very interesting building representing some of the better know periods of worldwide architecture, some traditional Japanese building together with some great examples of Japanese gardens.
Some of the exhibits are also set up as displays in their own right with working fire places and crafts.
Koganei Park is also an amazing place with huge open spaces and a monster children’s play ground including a plastic toboggan slope (the age of some of the kids using the plastic toboggan slope was scary – as young as 3 years old by themselves).
