The Edo-Tokyo Architectural Museum and Garden stands as a living testament to the city's rich history and architectural heritage, and the venue hosts a number of different events throughout the year. A beautiful one this autumn sees the museum grounds open after dark for two nights only, with a number of historical buildings and trees illuminated with warm lights.
