Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Cultural History


Site in Yokohama, a city neighboring Tokyo. Covers the history of Kanagawa Prefecture, just to the south of Tokyo. Two sections of this museum are dedicated to the Edo and Meiji periods, respectively. One demonstrates Kanagawa Prefecture's role in transportation and popular culture during the Edo Period. The other shows how the influence of Perry's landing in Kanagawa impacted the prefecture and Japan as a whole, and how the prefecture Westernized.
