😐 Very valuable real mechanical dolls (automata) are on display. The actual product is not in operation, but you can watch it in action on video. There are very narrow and steep stairs, and the entrance fee may be expensive compared to the scale and content of the facilities. People often mention dolls,

    The first floor is a doll shop, and the second floor is where you can see a variety of dolls. Duffy clothes were also on sale. I felt happy to see so many cute dolls.

    Photography is prohibited. There are many dolls and rare dolls on display, but the scale of the exhibits is not large, so unless you are a doll lover, you may find it a bit pricey. The 2nd and 3rd floors of the 3-story building are occupied by a museum, and you have to climb up and down steep stairs, so it might be difficult for people with walking disabilities or the elderly.

    A must-see for doll lovers. There are also karakuri dolls to enjoy.

    The first floor is a store. The second and third floors are a museum. Although it has an eerie feel to it, you can also see the skills of the good old craftsmen. Autometa is also a must-see. If you are interested, please come!

    I was surprised to see so many automethadols. I believe that European craftsmen were truly amazing in the past. If you take a photo of the doll sign on the third floor and upload it to Instagram, you will receive a postcard.

    Love it and worthy to visit

  • 3/5 よっちゃん 4 years ago on Google • 64 reviews
    We sell dolls of all sizes, clothes to change into, and fluffy stuffed rabbits, bears, and cats. However, since the store is small, it can get crowded at times.
