2. Thirty buildings from the Edo period to the early Showa period, which had high cultural value but were difficult to preserve on site, have been relocated and restored and are on display. Indoor exhibits are also held according to the period of construction and the purpose for which the building was used, recreating the lifestyle and culture of that time. The designs for the film Spirited Away (2001), directed by Hayao Miyazaki (Studio Ghibli), were based on the designs of public bathhouses in the museum and the architecture of merchant houses in the downtown area.

About Tokyo

Neon-lit districts, quiet shrines, superb food and distinct neighbourhoods make up Tokyo, a vast, orderly metropolis linked by punctual trains.

Every district feels like its own city. Shibuya's famous scramble crossing and Shinjuku's towers, bars and Golden Gai alleys pulse with energy, while Harajuku mixes youth fashion with the forested calm of the Meiji Jingu shrine. In Asakusa, the Sensō-ji temple and its market street keep an older Tokyo alive, and Ginza offers polished department stores and galleries.

Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
