Free admission. Excellent museum. Great history. It is not so big that you will feel foot weary at the end of your visit but the buildings are early 20th century structures and the lamp posts in the courtyard London, Paris, and Yokohama. English translations on displays are minimal but sufficient. There is a short presentation that you can listen to in Japanese and the presenter showed how the gas lamps are lit and the comparison between candlelight, gas light, lightbulbs with various filaments and LED light. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.
It's a cute little museum that's free in which you can see different types of gas products from back in the day. They also have some old posters that feature Hollywood actors which are always fun to look at, as they probably figured it would not be shown outside of Japan.
It has good diorama, entertaining explanation, and space for children to draw. Recommended for families!
It's free, so it's more foolish to stingy, but honestly.
First of all, I didn't seem to be in the crowd at any time, but I was perfectly prepared for social distance (laughs).
And I'm too prepared, but the images of all the exhibits are currently unavailable.
Even if you can see the video in full, I don't feel much highlight, but now there is nothing more to see. It took less than 15 minutes to see them all.
However, the toilet is the best! The latest class of clean toilets, stylish doors, and air-conditioning are given preferential treatment.
I visited to see a gas lamp that was used in Yokohama during the Meiji era. Admission is free. The exhibition of the two buildings takes about 30 minutes. It seems that the gas lighting (looks like a fan ...) is lit three times a day, so check it first. To see the gas building beautifully, it is recommended to match the sunset before closing.
