The division of the sections and the presentation of the contents is similar to the one in the<strong> Edo Tokyo Museum in the Ryogoku district in Tokyo<\/strong> (another museum that I absolutely recommend visiting if you are passionate about history), but it is even more complete and explains the history of the whole Japan.
