The word “Fukagawa” is the name of district in Edo period (1603 – 1868), current east side of Tokyo (Koto Ward). Since the middle of the city was Nihonbashi (near from current Tokyo Station) until Tokyo Air Raid in WWII (1945), Fukagawa – along side with Sumida River – was a part of commercial areas (after WWII, Tokyo’s commercial areas are expanded to westside, namely Shinjyuku or Shibuya).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum is not large in size, but the mockup town tells you how their daily lives were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
