A Day in Tokyo!

A trip back in time to the Edo period

Welcome to TOKYO! #TOKYO

What do people travel to Japan for? Sushi? Akihabara? Animation? Mount Fuji? The streets of Kyoto?

Modern Japan is interesting, but if you are going to stay for a few days, you might as well make a day to enjoy old Japan.

Like the world of Ghost of Tsushima.

If you travel to old Japan, SUSHI SOBA KIMONO, you will get to know them better.

AM12PM Tsukishima Station

First, what do you do when you arrive at Tokyo Tsukishima Station?

As in the game world, you should start by getting your equipment ready.

Fukagawa Kimono Salon 2hours

Here you can choose a kimono and equip it. And you are Japan 400 years ago. You will be time-limited to the Edo period.

Let's go to Fukagawa Edo Museum. In those days, people used palanquin, but it takes 30 minutes on foot or 5 minutes by cab.

3PM Life-size reproduction of Edo town

Fukagawa Edo Shiryokan 1.5hours

Fukagawa Edo Shiryokan (Fukagawa Museum of Edo History) | Koto-ku Cultural Community Foundation

The Fukagawa Edo Shiryokan is more than just a museum. It is a life-size reproduction of the Fukagawa Sagamachi townscape at the end of the Edo period (Tempo era). The museum also functions as a cultural facility with a small theater and recreation hall, in addition to a “hands-on” exhibition room where visitors can actually go up to stores and row houses and touch daily utensils.

Visitors wearing kimonos can enter the museum and become a merchant walking the streets of Edo (old Tokyo).

In those days, people lived in tenements and ate buckwheat noodles and sushi from street stalls.

You will be able to experience this in real life.

Don't forget to say hello to “Mamesuke,” the cat on the roof that moves!

Hungry?

Well, after enjoying the Edo Museum, you are already dying of hunger, right?

I know, I know.

Let's go eat sushi.

Not ordinary sushi, of course.

Mitsuki Sushi

This sushi restaurant serves a reproduction of the sushi that common people ate in the Edo period.

It is one size larger than today's sushi, and you will notice that the white rice is mixed with red vinegar so it has a slight reddish tinge. This is the beginning of sushi. Few Japanese have ever experienced this.

When your stomach is full, take a walk around the area!

3 minutes from the sushi restaurant.

Tomioka Hachiman Shrine (Fukagawa Hachiman)

Personally, you guys hungry enough to take a walk through the streets.

I would like you to try Fukagawa-meshi.

That's all I have to say. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE.
