The Edo Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum is a real gem and I don't really know why it's taken me 4 years before visiting it the first time. The grounds of the museum are spacious, right in the middle of Koganei Park, and you can wander in and around typical Japanese buildings from various periods and experience how Japan was like at that time. The buildings include farmhouses, private residences and a complete downtown area with local shops and a public bath—I really recommend to visit.

Architect Kunio Mayekawa's house from the outside
Very different instead the house (built in 1912) of Korekiyo Takahashi, a politician during the Meji period
Inside a mix of Japanese and Western style, although Japanese is predominant
Fine paintings on wooden doors
Large windows offer great views into the garden
