This 4K walking tour by Rambalac Live takes viewers through the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum, an outdoor museum dedicated to preserving and showcasing historical buildings from Tokyo’s past, particularly structures representing the Edo, Meiji, Taisho, and early Showa eras. Situated in Koganei Park, western Tokyo, this museum offers an immersive opportunity to observe Japan’s architectural evolution, with over 30 buildings relocated and reconstructed on-site for public viewing.

Throughout the video, viewers can virtually stroll by iconic structures such as merchant houses, bathhouses, and police boxes, each offering a glimpse into life across different centuries in Tokyo. Notable buildings on the site include the ‘Kodera Shutsu’ (Takayama House), a traditional farmhouse, and several examples of early Western-influenced architecture from the Meiji period. The path winds through lush park greenery, store facades, and period-accurate interiors, offering detailed closeups of wooden beams, tiled roofs, decorative metalwork, and original household items.

Located in the spacious Koganei Park (小金井公園), the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum (江戸東京たてもの園) provides English signage and user-friendly maps for international visitors. The museum is a popular spot for history enthusiasts and those curious to see Japanese residences and community buildings of the past, many of which were once found across different neighborhoods in Tokyo before postwar modernization.
