Edo-Tokyo - Open Air Museum

This museum seems to be known more by the tourists than  the locals.  When we visited the staff asked how we new about it and informed them via the internet.  The same day another couple from Singapore said the same thing.  When asking our Japanese friends about it they said they have never been or hadn't heard of it.  This of course makes it a bit more that interesting.  Details on the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Museum and how to get there can be found here.

It's an interesting mueseum with the restored buildings and how much there was a western influence in architecture even before World War 2 but with a distictive Japanese flavour. 

One building which as the distinctive copper facade was from the Ueno area which was heavily bombed and you can stillstill the shrapnel scars in the copper.

They also have a restored 1950's style bath house. which has great murals on it's walls.

Definately worth a look.
