Admire exquisite figures and dioramas, and find limited-edition merchandise

About this spot

A museum by the world-renowned figure maker Kaiyodo is located along the Kurogane Square shopping street. The museum houses exquisite figures from food toys and capsule figures to animals, dinosaurs, and character goods packed densely throughout. The meticulously crafted dioramas have a level of completion that makes you lean in for a closer look—"These are truly palm-sized?" you'll wonder with each display. Sections introducing the world of sculpting appeal to adults as much as children. The museum shop is stocked with limited-edition figures and capsule toy machines available nowhere else, making it perfect for souvenir hunting. A space where you can return to your childhood and chat while exploring—adding delightful spice to your retro street walk.

Tips

Just a short walk from Kurogane Glass Hall, located within an arcade shopping street, so it's comfortable even on rainy days. The museum is compact, making it easy to fit into your street walk. Prepare small change for the capsule toy machines. Limited-edition figures can sell out, so purchase items that interest you early.
