Located in Shinjuku, with great views from the rooftop patio, this museum covers all things fire related — whether you’re looking for a way to teach the kids a bit of fire safety in a unique way, or wondering what an Edo-era fire uniform would look like. Perhaps you want to see the city from the pilot’s seat of a fire helicopter, or see a horse-drawn fire truck.

In fact, the second floor of the building is still active offices for the fire service.
