Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum

Dedicated to the architecture of the late Edo period, this outdoor museum showcases historic buildings, including 200-year-old farmhouses and specialty shops filled with reproduction products, such as a soy sauce shop, Japanese umbrella shop, and stationary store.

Delightful for any visitor and highly recommended for those interested in architecture or everyday life. The Mitsui villa and the rebuilt shopping street are utter highlights, and so is the replica of the onsen bathing house. The Mitsui villa is both zen and fancy and has an exquisite garden.
Koganei park (free entry) is pretty cool too, and has a steam train locomotive on display.
Beware: Google Maps may make you get off the train at the Higashi-Koganei station but the Musashi-Koganei station (oen stop further) has better bus connections !

Tokyo Metropolitan Koganei Park

Reviewed By Pstrauss - Beecroft, Australia

A large parkland, which includes the Tokyo Outdoor Architectural Museum which appears on many tourist lists. I haven't visited the Museum, but enjoyed a day out in the park with my Japanese resident son and granddaughter aged 5.
Beautiful meadows of poppies at this time of year, and a lovely Koinobori, the carp flags for Children's day on May 5. Many local families were picnicking, riding bicycles and using the variety of giant slides, jumping devices, climbing walls and the like. Street performers too. I only touched the surface of the park on this visit of several hours. You can buy food and rent bikes by the hour. A green oasis in the city for an active day out or a snooze in the sun.

Musashino Park

Reviewed By Maria T - Nagoya, Japan

I had to cross the park to get to the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Museum, but I might’ve spent an hour and a half wandering around the park itself. I had breakfast on one of the benches and just enjoyed the sound of the crows somewhere above and the tranquility of the place. Also there are bathrooms, so that’s convenient.

Koganei Shrine

Reviewed By NishiTERA - Tokyo, Japan

With a place where to see people send arrows in target prictice. I am getting it is a religious thing or not? Musashikoganei and at a certain extend Tachikawa are really religious places. Lots of Temples and Shrines of various religions.

Sorosenen

Reviewed By NishiTERA - Tokyo, Japan

Ok I went there in the middle of the Typhon.
I was the second person of the day to visit at 16h.
Needless to say that the rain was really strong.
The person that welcomed me was full of humor.
A nice place, will come back with a better weather, but blue sky is boring some times.

Hake no Michi

Reviewed By Katsumi56 - Nishitokyo, Japan

小金井市の東西を走る国分寺崖線に沿った散策コースです。
JR武蔵小金井駅の南口から10分くらい歩いた金蔵院というお寺の辺りには古い民家があり樹々も多くて昔の風情が残っているようでした。コース途中には念仏坂や質屋坂などという面白い名前の坂があるのも楽しいです。

Konzoin Temple

Reviewed By hanedasun - 東京

はけ(断崖。いまは急坂となっています)の下にある、小金井市では一番古いお寺です。昔は尋常小学校に使われていたそうで、とても清かなところでした。
あいにく、本尊の十一面観音像や薬師如来像は見られませんでしたが、庭にそびえる樹齢数百年のケヤキの大木を拝めました。

Rokujizo Kogane no Mizu

Reviewed By NishiTERA - Tokyo, Japan

So to say, the Koganei Water access is a "not For Free" one. You have to pay something to have the key to let the water go.
People come in bicycle in a hurry, before dinner or lunch.
The interesting thing here is that, this water have legend.
Some couple of hundred years before a young girl had a strong skin disease.
Here face was recovered by horrible spots....
Willing to marry, she go to the temple. There they said to come here to drink and put some water on here face. That's what she did. Here illness vanished.
