Fukagawa Edo Museum reopens
TOKYO —
After a one-year hiatus for renovations, the Fukagawa Edo Museum has reopened. The community culture center has an Edo period display of reconstructed Fukagawa Saga-cho houses as well as a small theater and a lecture hall. The center holds exhibitions regarding the history of Edo Fukagawa and provides space for many cultural activities.
The exhibition hall is full of interesting features, like a reconstruction of the streets of Fukagawa from days gone by, as well as displays including everyday life items and plants. Lighting and sound effects change often according to the seasons, making it enjoyable for every visitor every time. There is also a traditional Japanese style theater, reminiscent of theaters of the Edo period.
The museum is open from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.(closed on 2nd and 4th Mondays).

I have been there. It's a nice, cozy little place, but even better there's a fantastic garden called Kiyosumi Teien right across the street. Easy walk from the Hanzomon line, Kiyosumi Shirakawa station.
