Great place to spend a couple of hours with kiddos especially if they like fire fighters. The entire building houses a lot of exhibits and interactive stations. We learnt about the history and development of the fire department in Tokyo and got to admire the exhibits of various fire fighting tools and vehicles. There also a rooftop exhibit that lets you sit in a decommissioned fire helicopter. At the basement there's a merchandise shop that sell fire fighting relate stuff. Do support them as admission to the museum is free!

I really enjoyed this museum and enough signs were in English that I felt it was time well spent, which was a little over an hour. On top of that, it was completely free!

I was most intrigued by learning that the early-on firefighters used to fight fires partly naked to show off all their tattoos. I especially enjoyed being able to pick up some of the modern tools to feel how heavy they are (no photo, sorry). There were a number of things for people to be able to sit in, such as two different helicopters, but it was a long wait even though the lines weren’t long.

A nice free place to take the kids. A few floors of exhibits showcasing how the fire department functions and has changed over the years. One of the levels has some interactive areas where the kids can try on some fireman gear and sit in a pretend fire truck.

A very interesting museum with a lot of well maintained and interesting exhibits. Both of the helicopters inside and on top of the building are interactive exhibits and can be entered. A lot of the firefighting equipment spans back longer than you'd think and it's very enthralling

A very interesting history museum about Japanese firefighters unfortunately not everything is translated into English. Especially a fun place for children with lots of activities on the 3rd floor. Entry is free.
