30 minsAdmission Ticket IncludedBuilt in 1929, the historic former Ryogoku Station building has been fully restored, with the old façade kept intact, and now hosts this decidedly nostalgic shopping and restaurant complex opened in November 2016. Based on the underlying concept of 'enjoying Edo-style cuisine', twelve different stalls offer Edo-inspired food, drink and local products. There are also Edo-related events from time to time, so keep your eyes peeled.Ryogoku Kokugikan
