The Museum was really cool. It is right next to this place really famous for sumo. There were some interesting things about the museums and I got some cool pics. Just to FYI Tokyo use to be called Edo before it westernized. Hence the museum focuses on Edo then Tokyo and tells you about the city and what not.
The one thing I found that was rather odd is that when Japan opens to the West they refer to it as entering the age of “enlightenment and civilization.” So Japan was not before? Though there was some interesting stuff on Tokyo and the Second World War I was mostly interested in the Edo stuff.
Nonetheless I will post the pics on my flickr account. We must have spent about 3 hours here and the lighting was really dark making taking pictures really hard.
Also I have tried really hard to record video with my camera and upload it to youtube. I must be doing something wrong I cannot do it at all.
Me on the first JR line

I might have missed it in one of your postings, but what's a JR Line? Looks cool. It would be cooler with a steering wheel and a horn.
JR means Japanese Rail. There are several private public transportation companies in Japan and JR is the largest. I am actually in a palanquin. It was kind of a joke.
Here is a map of the JR line:

I am on the Chou Rapid. I live at the Mushasi-Koganei station and travel on the line to Yotsuya.
