    I went to "Aton Toy Museum" in Asuka Village, Takaichi District, where you can enjoy a unique view of the world👾 . The 47th Collection Special Exhibition - Showa Era Bad Toy Exhibition is being held from July 1st (Sat) to the end of December ♪ Admission fee is 300 yen and the museum is closed on Mondays. Temporary closing information is posted on the Aton Toy Museum website. I'm here👾 . Approximately 40,000 Showa era toys and household items collected by the director are always on display, and there is also a room that recreates the early Showa era, making it a must-see👾 . I was told that it was okay to take pictures, so I took a lot of pictures 😂 I had a satisfying time with the exciting content 👾 . There is a parking lot, but the road is narrow so please be careful if you are going.

    Admission fee: 300 yen for adults. It's the perfect place for retro lovers and toy lovers! You'll never get tired of this no matter how many hours you spend on it! When I went there at 10am on a weekday, there was no one there, and after a while the owner came running out of nowhere (lol). There were no other customers other than myself, so I was able to take my time to admire it. You can also go shopping. By the way, there was a parking lot for two cars, but the road was quite narrow! Full of light cars. Moreover, it is a dead end street, so if you are not confident in driving, it is better not to go there by car.

    I came here because I had some business to do nearby. Information The roads are narrow, so if you are visiting by car, we recommend a light car or a motorcycle. From the entrance, you will feel like you have traveled back in time to the Showa era! When I entered the building, the owner greeted me. There were so many nostalgic toys and toys that people didn't buy me when I was a kid that the time passed quickly. I think people in their 60s would be more excited than me in my late 30s, but I think people born in the Showa era would have more fun. It's now quite worth visiting.

    I've been to many places looking for retro things, but I think the collection here is top-level in the country. It's a nostalgic space that you can spend hours in. The way the items are displayed has been carefully thought out, and you can really feel the passion of the owner. I think I want to go again.

    This is a museum of extremely rare toys. Located in Asuka village. There are a lot of toys from the Showa era. It was a really great museum. I also post videos on YouT◯be and Ti◯Tok under the name Machiken. Please see, if good.

    This is an old Showa era toy store for old men. There are piles of dolls and goods from anime and manga that I watched as a child. My friend was having a great time talking with the shop owner about his mania, and I felt the shop owner's deep love and passion for toys.

    Anyway, the amount is amazing! Moreover, it is beautifully displayed. It's amazing. I've been to many museums with Showa motifs, but this one is the best. The road is narrow, so you may not be able to get there unless you have a compact car. Please be careful if you are going there.

    (Translated by Google) That's amazing! It is a surprise that is not at the level of ️ ❗️ Showa retro toys, full of soft vinyl, full, full ️ The toys I wanted when I was a kid are always here ❗️ A small toy hall in the countryside like this, but everyone in the know knows the holy land of mania from all over Japan ❗️ Lots of good old toys Shozoin, a heavy great deep toy that is not a ratio ️ (Original) すんごいですねぇぇぇぇ‼️のレベルじゃ無い驚きです❗️昭和レトロのおもちゃ、ソフビがいっぱい、いっぱい、いっぱい‼️子供の頃持ってた、欲しかったおもちゃが必ずここにあるよ❗️こんな田舎の小さなおもちゃ館だけど、知る人ぞ知る、日本全国からマニアが訪れる聖地❗️大都市にある懐かしのおもちゃがいっぱい~の比じゃ無いヘビーグレートディープなおもちゃの正倉院や‼️

    I stopped by while walking from the Fujiwara Kyoto Museum to Asuka. I passed through the lattice door and entered the garden, but it was already crowded with various things. When I entered the house, I saw a variety of toys not only in the case, but also on the walls and ceiling. However, if you look closely, you'll find not only toys, but also ekiben wrappers and chopstick boxes! According to the pamphlet, there are about 40,000 toys and household goods from the Showa era! Out of all of them, the one that caught my attention the most was the monster soft vinyl doll. I think most boys had a few when I was a kid. That's nostalgic. Apparently the company that produced it, Bullmark, has gone bankrupt, but I loved the unique color scheme that was so different from what I saw on TV. To be honest, I don't really like having a lot of things placed in such a clutter, so my rating is 3 stars, but if you like Showa toys and household goods like this, I think it's a 5 star place.

  • 4/5 森田サバ子 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Located in Asuka Village, Takaichi-gun. There is also a space that can be stopped a little on the north side of the store, but you must go through a very narrow road that you can not face, so if you are not confident in driving, you can go other than the car or drive I think it would be better to have a good person ride. For those who are interested, people in their 40s and 50s, and TV girls, the tension will go on. The place is also in a small village, and it looks like a time slip from the shop to Showa. The store is also on display with a great number of toys and household goods collected by owners over the years. It's overflowing (laughs) It's not a very large shop because it is displayed using a Showa house, but it's still a masterpiece. There are notes on the Chabudai and you can leave comments, but there are many people and fans from all over the country who come to the store and leave comments, so it is fun to read them. Of course, nostalgic Showa anime is playing in BGM. I will hum. Even those who are not so interested or non-generational people can enjoy the museum as there are many electrical appliances in the early Showa era and many packages such as sweets and medicines on display. Couples, friends, and even one person can come. By the way, when I visited, I was shooting a TV program. It feels like going into a Showa toy box, so there may be a gap for those who want to feel like a museum or museum in the prefecture or city. (Original) 高市郡明日香村にあります。駐車場も店の北側に少し止められるスペースがありますが、対向出来ない非常に非常に狭い道を通らねばならないため、車の運転に自信のない人は車以外の方法で行かれるか、運転のうまい人に乗せてもらった方がいいと思います。 興味ある人、40~50代の人、テレビっ子には、たまらなくテンション上がります。場所も小さな集落の中にあり店の周りから昭和にタイムスリップしたような情景。お店もオーナーさんが長い年月をかけて集めてこられたスゴい数のおもちゃや生活雑貨が溢れんばかりと展示されてます。ていうか溢れてます(笑)昭和のお家を利用して展示されているのでさほど広いお店ではありませんがそれでも圧巻です。ちゃぶ台にノートが置いてありコメントを残せるのですが、全国各地から沢山の人やファンが店に訪れコメントを残しているのでそれを読んだりするのも楽しいです。 BGMも勿論懐かしい昭和アニメが流れています。思わず口ずさみます。 そんなに興味のない人や世代でない人でも昭和初期の電化製品であったりお菓子や薬などのパッケージも多数展示されているので博物館として楽しむ事が出来ると思います。 カップルや友達同士、またお一人でも来られてます。 ちなみにわたしが訪れた時にはテレビ番組の撮影が来てました。 昭和のおもちゃ箱の中に入って行くような感じなので、県や市の美術館や博物館のような感じを求める人にはギャップがあるかもしれません。

    (Translated by Google) 15 years? I went there about a while ago. A lot of retro toys from the early Showa era ❓ were lined up in a two-story private house. I was watching it for more than 2 hours in no time. It reminds me that it was a lot of fun. It seems that there are requests from customers from all over the country. The shop owner seemed to have been selling online since then. I want to go again after a long time. (Original) 15年?ぐらい前に行きました。二階建ての民家にところ狭しとぎっしりと沢山の昭和初期❓から数十年のレトロな玩具が並んでました。あっというまに2時間以上鑑賞していました。それはそれは大変楽しかったのを思い出します。全国からのお客さんからの依頼があるらしく。ネット販売をあの頃からしてはるようでした、店主が。また久しぶりにいきたいです。

    (Translated by Google) In the place where it enters, the building is an ordinary private house It is hard to understand. The inside is overflowing with nostalgic things, Because it is displayed with Gotegote, The impression of "What is it?" More exhibits and easier to understand It would be nice if I exhibited it ♪ (Original) 入りくんだ場所で、建物が普通の民家と 分かり辛いです。 中は、懐かしい物で溢れかえってるが、 ゴテゴテと展示しているので、 『何だかなぁー』と言う印象! もっと展示物を減らして分かりやすく 展示すれば、いいのに♪

    (Translated by Google) Huge collection volume, It is a masterpiece. I can soak in a nostalgic feeling. If you go by car because the road is terribly narrow, the nearby prefectural tennis court parking lot is wide, so I think that it is correct to stop and walk. (Original) 膨大なコレクション量、 圧巻です。懐かしい気分に浸れます。 道が恐ろしく狭いので車で行く場合は近くの県立テニスコート駐車場が広いので停めて歩いていくのが正解かと思います。

    (Translated by Google) A treasure trove of toys with great retro value! Although the building space is not large, 30 minutes is not enough if you look carefully. I watched it for about an hour. The owner is also friendly and very nice. It's a hidden attraction! (Original) 素晴らしいレトロな価値あるおもちゃの数の宝庫です!建物スペースは大きくないものの、じっくり見れば30分では足りません。私は一時間くらい拝見しました。ご主人様も気さくでとてもいい方です。隠れた名所です!
