Tatemono-en (Edo-Tokyo Open air Architectural Museum) Tour
We're sorry. This tour is no longer available.
Overview
Tokyo boast number of fantastic contemporary architecture. However, some of you may feel that they haven't seen much of the traditional buildings in the city. One of the reason many of those traditional buildings aren't seen in the city was from the history of Edo (old Tokyo) . Many historical buildings in Edo has been destroyed due to fires, floods, earthquakes and warfare. This Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum opened for the purpose of relocating, restoring, preserving and exhibiting buildings of great cultural value that cannot be preserved at their original sites and has made possible the passing down of these valuable cultural heritages to the next generation. From private homes to public bathhouse, there are so many fascinating buildings to look at. We are sure there will a lot of questions about Japanese life style, history and the stories behind the works coming up to your mind while strolling the museum, and we are to help you!

I purchased this experience as a gift for my partner who works in carpentry and enjoys both history and buildings. It was a hit. I enjoyed it as well because it felt like traveling through time, and I learned a lot about architecture. Yuichi was highly knowledgeable and I appreciated that he picked us up from our hotel and we traveled together to the museum, since there are a few transfers involved to get there. For a comparison, if you've been to New York and enjoyed the Tenement Museum or the Museum of the City of New York, this is right up your alley. It was a bit more architecture focused, but we did have a chance to ask more questions about how people lived and how structures were built.NYCityRes

Fantastic tour of the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum (Tatemono-en) led by Hal. She did a great job, was extremely knowledgeable and catered to our specific interests. The tour itself touched upon Japanese architectural design and history as well as daily life in Tokyo during the 19th/20th century. It provided more depth to my understanding of Tokyo. I highly recommend both Hal and the Tatemono-en Museum.khloekarova

We loved this tour! Hal taught us so much about design and architecture and how historical events have changed Japanese architecture. We also enjoyed learning more about everyday life in Japan and upcoming preparations for the Olympics. Hal is clearly passionate about history and helping others. ...
