The Osaka Museum of Housing and Living

大阪くらしの今昔館‎

Here for you to show the various styles of Osaka in the Edo period, in fact I think it is a quite good folklore, you can understand some of the city and life at that time bit by bit.

Inside is mainly a few city models, showing some styles of Osaka in the Edo period, and restoring a street, generally can come to experience, but can't say how good. There are quite a lot of tourists.

I think this is a very good exhibition hall. Located in a building, there is a nice snack street downstairs. The pavilion is divided into two parts: ancient Osaka and modern Osaka. A large building complex was built inside, and everyone can experience the scene of Osaka before.

The exhibition area is a square table. There are exquisite models on the table reflecting the urban characteristics of Japan in different eras. The periphery is covered with glass. A narration about the corresponding era will be played at the scene. The models on the table are displayed every few minutes. It will sink through mechanical automatic control, and then a model of another era scene will rise.

This is a small exhibition hall, showing the living environment of Japan in the past, very vivid image. Especially visitors can borrow kimono to wear, in the exhibition hall in the Japanese bedroom and the street to visit the photo, very interesting, worth to go.

This fascinating museum recreated a whole community that allows you to step back in time (don a traditional kimono) and learn about the ways Osakans lived during the Edo period. It also traces the transition to modern day structures.

This was probably one of my favorite museums in Osaka. It features replicas of what neighborhoods and homes were like in Osaka. You can get there early and dress in traditional garb and take photos in the traditional streets/totomi homes. In about 20-30 minutes you can examine the full day of what it was like in Japan in the 1900s.

See how the old Osaka looks like. Experience how old Japan looks like. They even had "fireworks" inside the building.

The Osaka Museum of housing and living, the exhibition hall present the early days of Osaka before it become a modernized city, the are living quarters, olden days toys and etc.

Located near Osaka Tenmangu shrine, inside this museum is a fully explorable recreation of an Osaka neighborhood ranging from the Edo period to the Showa era. Kimono are also available for rental if you want to go for the full time slip experience. It's also located right near the Tenjinbashi covered arcade which is full of restaurants, shops, and cafes. So there is plenty to do in this area. Open 10am to 5pm and closed on Tuesdays and every 3rd Monday.
