Nestled within the lush greenery of Koganei Park, the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum safeguards Tokyo's rich architectural heritage through thirty meticulously restored structures. Visitors can wander through atmospheric Edo-era thatched bungalows, elegant Western-influenced Meiji residences, and a bustling vintage downtown street lined with historic shops, an inn, and a traditional public bathhouse. Famed Studio Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki drew visual inspiration here while creating the iconic aesthetic of *Spirited Away*. With period-dressed volunteers, charming cafés, and hands-on cultural workshops, it offers an immersive and nostalgic journey through Japan's past.
