Edo Tokyo Architectural Museum

Or Tatemonoen in Japanese, which literally means buildings (tatemono) garden (-en). Basically the Japanese transplanted old buildings (after some restoration) into a really pretty park to create an open-air museum giving visitors a feel of the Japanese lifestyle in the past. There are mansions, houses, all kinds of shops, a bar, a public bath house, a photo studio, a police post, buses, trains, etc. on display, which you can enter. Many of the buildings were donations by private individuals (instead of simply tearing them down and re-building). I think its a great idea.

Miyazaki was inspired by what he saw at this museum when creating his award-winning animation film "Spirited Away" (watch it if you haven't...it's a great film!).

Old-style cash register

Bar from the Edo period (1600s - 1857). Those barrels that you can see from under the curtain are stools in front of the bar counter.

From right: Old-style flower shop and stationery shop. (can't remember what's the grey one on the left)

Bath house from the 1950s (by then, Japanese bath houses have started having separate baths for men and ladies)

Those green tubs just under the painting are where you soak yourself after scrubbing yourself clean by the taps in front.

Old style Japanese train (like the one in Spirited Away)
