Tokyo (3/5) – South West – 10/10/2019 to 10/22/2019

We spent quite some time in the Southeast district of Tokyo (in Koto) because this is where are grouped a large number of museums, including several museums about the history of Edo (former name of Tokyo).

In some museums, guide services are offered free of charge, which has allowed us to learn more about feudal Japan and the organization of Edo districts.

We also visited the Katana Museum, which explains how Japanese swords are designed.
