    Scummy business, they jack up prices right infront of you, and try hard to upsell you convenient store toy cars. Don't deal with them. The museum is nothing worth looking at for money, no wonder the place is empty.

    Small-ish museum but if you're a fan of toys, especially tin toys, good place to visit. Some quirky toys on display. 800JPY per adult entry. Friendly staff operating the place. Decently priced souvenirs to pick up.

    Collection of vintage dolls. From around the world. Kitahara has been collecting for the past 50 years. Well known internationally and in Japan.

    I'm not into toys from those days in Japan. But I can see how others may feel nostalgic when they enter this place. A small collection of toys and other memorabilia. If old Japanese toys or robots are your thing, then this is it. The price of admission should be lowered given the fact that you can finish this in 15 mins.

    If you are a fan of antique toys this is a place for you. Many exhibits mostly vintage tin toys and dolls. Although its not a big place its a pleasant visit to learn more about toys in the past.
