Osaka Museum of Housing and Living

While I did not don a Yukata, I recommend it. The only thing missing from this experience was the smell of smoke in the air.

This museum is the size of a large television set and provided a very accurate representation of what a street in Osaka would have looked like near the middle to end of the Edo period (1750-1800).

Because it is inside, in the course of an hour you get an entire days worth of lighting. The two pictures above were taken at late dusk and early dawn respectively.
