I saw cultural relics from the Edo Period in Japan at an exhibition in Shanghai. Which city in Japan still has the scenery from the Edo Period?
 
Which exhibition did you see in Shanghai? Do you have a link? Almost every locality in Japan has remains dating back to the Edo period .
 
The town where a building of the near Edo era is left from Tokyo is Kawagoe of Saitama.


A castle town and the post town where cityscape of the Edo era just remains.

Kakunodate Cherry Blossom and Samurai Residences(Akita, Japan)

Walking Around Chiran Samurai Residence Gardens(Kagoshima, Japan)

The flavor of the samurai residence is different from the north in the south.
 
The short answer is that there isn't any city or town in Japan where most of the buildings from the Edo period survive. At best there are a few mountain villages like Shirakawago or places in the Kiso Valley (e.g.Tsuwago and Magome).

Usually, the few cities that still have Edo period architecture only have just a few preserved streets. That's the case of Kyoto , Takayama, or Kurashiki, to name the most famous ones.

Kawagoe was destroyed by a fire in 1893 and the few traditional kurazukuri houses left in the centre date from the Meiji period .
 
The old Suzukis house preservation repair business
Reiwa 3 year important cultural property old Suzukis house preservation repair business "dismantling and investigation - of the cultural assets building reading the reviving old Suzukis house - history"



There are 16 buildings in "the old Suzukis house" appointed to the important cultural property of the country site, and all is appointed to an important cultural property.
I can know the history of the damage situation and the building by these buildings built from the Edo era through the Meiji era dismantling all or part, and investigating it.
I introduce the state of the indispensable dismantling and investigation to the preservation repair of cultural assets.
