Exhibitions and Events
First Floor Exhibition Room - Shitamachi Lifestyles and Living Spaces
Taito City’s Sakamoto area (currently Negishi 3-chome), along Kanasugi-dori Street, which is being recreated here, was spared by the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Great Tokyo Air Raids and Great retained strongly the appearance of the Shitamachi area from the Meiji Era onward. Here, among the front tenement houses, which served both as workplaces and living quarters, the alley and the well-side area, where passageways and living spaces intersect and the rear tenement houses used as residences, you will experience the daily activities and the lifestyles of the people who once lived in the Shitamachi area.
