Japan's first museum themed on the "history of housing," recreating an Osaka street from the late Edo period at full scale. You can enter the merchant and private houses, and feel as if you've traveled back in time through lighting and sound effects that change from morning to night. Kimono rentals are popular, allowing you to take beautiful photos against the backdrop of an Edo-period street. It's an indoor spot where you can enjoy learning about Osaka's deep history and culture regardless of the weather.
