Filmed in January 2016. This is a museum of the history of Tokyo during the Edo period. It was established in 1993. The main features of the permanent exhibitions are the life-size replica of the Nihonbashi, which was the bridge leading into Edo; the Nakamuraza theatre; and scale models of towns and buildings from the Edo, Meiji and Shōwa periods. The museum is adjacent to the Ryōgoku Kokugikan. It was designed by Kiyonori Kikutake. The distinctive elevated shape of the museum building is modelled after an old storehouse in the kurazukuri style. (Source: Wikipedia). 

Here is a list of all the passenger 1992 Yokohama Elevators at the museum (5 of of 6 elevators; one is behind locked doors, for accessible only):

The museum building is 62 metres high (+4m basement; about 21 standard floors) and has 5 floors open to the public, with long gaps between the floors (for instance, it is around 30 meters between floors 3 and 5, so that's why it looks like the elevators are slow, when in fact, they're not that slow. 

There are two scenic elevators here. Between floors 1-5, you can get a scenic view (stopping right before the 4th floor) for about 22 meters.
