Only open Friday-Sunday. Very good and kind people volunteer here. It is a small place but full of rich history. Every aspect is beautiful and well-chosen. Highly recommend to everyone who loves Japan and its history. (Big plus if you have relatives who will look back on this and remember their childhoods.)

I have an interest in history, and I came here today. I think this is really interesting, everything is still well-preserved. The house and its contents are still in good condition. If you are from Unoki station, it might take 10 minutes to walk.

From the outside, this house looks like any other older home, but inside there is a living museum of artifacts, newspapers, letters and memorabilia that show us what life was like for a typical middle class family from the mid 20th century. The staff here are really eager to explain anything you'd like to know about the house, the family that lived there, or the historical context. To be honest, I thought we'd have a short 20 to 30 minute visit, but it turned into 2 hours, and I could have stayed longer, easily. So interesting! However, most of the information is in Japanese, but if you have a good translation app, you'll easily be able to read the captions on the exhibits. Please, if you want to know what life was like for a typical middle class family in Tokyo in the early to mid 20 th century, please stop by. You will be glad you did!.

Neat little place with a relaxing atmosphere. A museum tucked inside a residential area. The texts are mostly in Japanese, so if you can't read the language, you might want to reserve an english guide in advance to get the full experience.

The staff member was amazing. She was super friendly and spoke great English. It was very interesting to see how normal Japanese people lived during the Showa period. There is lots of interesting history and things to see. 100% reccomend.
