[ Tokyo Toy Museum ] Highly recommended Indoor-Playground in Tokyo

There are more than 10,000 kinds of TOYS from all over Japan + overseas, and kids can play with them all !!
(not “in show case” time of museum. )

The building is reused from actual elementary school, so you can feel Japanese public school’s retro atmosphere.

Tips

No food or drinks inside

So better eat well before visit.

There are no rest area for drinks or small snacks… eventually, when kids are hungry, have to leave the museum for lunch or snack.

There are some restaurants near museum, mostly 5-10min away.

Re-entry is not allowed on the weekend

If weekday, you can re-entry after lunch or coffee break. But not on weekday ..!

Need reservation for BABY area (1hour rotation system)
