Appreciate exquisite puppets crafted by the master of puppet animation
About this spot
A museum that permanently displays works by an internationally renowned master of puppet animation. Iida has long been a place where puppet culture has taken root, including puppet theater (Bunraku) and marionette performances. The museum is built in a location deeply connected to this tradition. The meticulously crafted puppets with their expressive faces and costumes are impressive—captivating both adults and children. Located close to Apple Boulevard, this is a spot to experience the cultural depth of Iida.
