Visitors begin on the upper levels with full-scale recreations of ancient imperial palaces before descending through the bustling Edo-period merchant era and dynamic 20th-century streets. In addition to meticulously detailed dioramas and interactive displays, the building's floor-to-ceiling windows offer picture-perfect vistas of the neighboring castle grounds. It is an essential stop for anyone seeking a deeper appreciation of the cultural forces that shaped the region.
