If your kids like Fire engine or Helicopter, how about Fire museum in Yotsuya-Sanchome?
It takes about 5min from Shinjuku, 20min from Tokyo station by subway (Marunouchi-line).
The good things are admission free, also you can enter directly from “Yotsuya-sanchome” subway station exit “no.2”.
So doesn’t need to worry about rain or heat when it’s uncomfortable weather outside.

How long does it take to see?
The building is not so big, probably 1-2hours is enough I think.
It seems 2 – 8 years old kids are having fun most.

Is there restaurant/cafe ?
There are no restaurant or cafe inside this building.
You can take a break at free rest area on 10F – I suggest to bring some snack or drink before you enter this museum for urgent hungry alert by children.

Being little Firefighter in Japan
Once you receive the guest card on 1F, you can explore anywhere.
3F is the most popular floor for small kids.
- 1F : reception –> Receptionist would give you guest card. Return them when you leave.
- 4F/5F : Japanese Fire department history exhibition
- B1F : Actual classic fire-engine display (can not touch )
- 3F : Fun area for kids – there are some fire department related games, picture spot with fire engine replica. (but not so many)
- 10F : Lounge area. If you bring food or drink, you can use lounge on 10F freely.
*No food allowed except for lounge on 10F.
*Baby stroller parking spot is on each floor, but recommend to leave on 1F.
