Relatively speaking, this part of the city is much less popular than the city center. But if you are in the area, this museum is a must do and represented a much-appreciated change of pace during my trip to Tokyo. As others have mentioned, the museum, although not that huge, is installed with a life-size replica model of a small community from the Edo era. The houses and stalls were recreated with a keen eye to detail, down to the placements of various articles inside the houses. Kids would have a blast here no doubt. Entrance fee is just 400 yen per head.

The museum is a short walk from the Fukugawa Fudodo, making it a great oportunity to visit two attractions on the same day. For a small fee, you can experience what a Edo period village might have looked like. The museum is so detailed and realistic, even a cat on the roof of one of the homes. You can touch everything (cookware, tools, clothing, etc) while exploring the entire village. From what I was told, there are seasonal changes made to the town, such as Fall foliage in the Fall or cherry blossoms in the Spring.

There are English speaking volunteer guides if you need one. The museum is popular with students so arranging for a guide in advance might be nice.

It was well worth the small entry fee.

The museum is a realistic model of a few streets as they looked like during Edo period (a cat on a roof is included). You can enter the houses and touch everything. The best part - there were volunteering guides. One of them gave me a personalised tour through the exhibition and explained me everything in English. The visit was worth much more than 400 yen, which I paid for the ticket!

My girls (4&6) could not get enough of this museum—they loved exploring the town, opening drawers in every room, hiding from the “rainstorm” that periodically appeared, etc. etc.

Honestly, one of the best museums I’ve seen for kids this age (and interesting for me as well)—what other history museum allows you to pick up and use everything in the exhibits? My kids spent at least an hour “cooking” meals in the kitchens with all the 1830s Japanese cookware and dishes.

There were English-speaking guides hovering nearby much of the time, eager to explain what each of the unfamiliar items were and how they were used. Highly recommend!

This museum is complimentary to the Edo-Tokyo museum and as they are not far away I would recommend to combine the visit the same day. We also got a volunteer guide here and the experience was great. The museum is smaller than the Edo-Tokyo one though, but the reconstructions were equally nice.
