Experience Edo: Kiyosumi Gardens and the Fukagawa Edo Museum

YCAPS is excited to announce a group visit to the Fukagawa Edo Museum in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, Tokyo. This field trip will explore daily life in Edo-period Tokyo through a recreated neighborhood setting, including homes, shops, streets, and examples of ordinary urban life. Participants will consider how Edo society shaped the development of modern Tokyo and how museums help preserve and present everyday history. First, we will explore the Kiyosumi Gardens, look at some important sites within, be guided through the area, and then make our way over to the Museum. After the museum, we will end at Blue Bottle Coffee Kiyosumi-Shirakawa Flagship Cafe for discussion.

Participants should be prepared for approximately 2 and a half hours of walking and standing while exploring the museum and garden. The museum is indoors and should be accessible as a casual afternoon event.

Registration is now closed, as the event has reached capacity. We apologize for any inconvenience.
