Meguro Museum of History

Flow of the course

About this spot

This history museum of Meguro City opened in a repurposed building of the former Daini Junior High School. Stone tools from the Palaeolithic era and Jomon pottery, the shape of Meguro in the Edo period, and modern daily life are laid out in order. Because it is a school building, the corridors and stairs are wide, which helps families with children move around comfortably. Knowing how the slopes and rivers of Meguro came to be changes how the streets you walk afterwards look. It is air-conditioned and indoors, so it also suits a rest during the hours when the sun grows strongest.

Tips

Viewing the permanent exhibition is free, but check the official website in advance for opening days, hours and closures. The exhibits involve a lot of text, so starting with the sections you can grasp visually, such as pottery and tools, keeps children interested. It is a place to view quietly, so mention beforehand that there is no running. For whether strollers may be brought in, follow the guidance given on the day.

Best time to visit

About 55 minutes. Spending the late morning indoors, as the sun grows strong, is comfortable
