If you are unaware of this, then you should know that Tokyo is home to the Edo Tokyo Museum. This is a destination that cannot and should not be missed by anyone visiting Tokyo. This museum is one of the most important in the Japanese capital and, through videos and exceptionally crafted models, illustrates the lifestyle in Edo during the Edo period. For those who don't know, Edo is the ancient name of Tokyo.

This museum is truly enlightening in understanding what it meant to live in the capital during that period, how problems related to population pressure—which even then was no joke—were dealt with, and how the city managed to defeat its greatest enemy: fire. The museum is located in Sumida, so it is within easy reach for anyone visiting Tokyo.
