Excited to meet a wind-up toy!
tin toy museum
This museum exhibits approximately 3,000 tin toys manufactured mainly in Japan from the 1890s to the 1960s. There are a wide variety of colorful toys that can truly be called art, such as vehicles, robots, and animals. We were also happy to see the enthusiastic welcome from the museum's idol, Robbie!
A tin toy museum located in a quiet residential area in Yamate, Yokohama. The landmark is a green roof and a pink rabbit.
Near the entrance is a shop space where you can purchase tin toys.
The back of the building is a museum.
The explanation of the manufacturing process using actual tin toys is also interesting!
If you go further in, you'll find a corner with foreign-made tin toys. Many were made over 100 years ago! Each piece is made with precision and beautiful colors, so you can't help but stare at it.
There are also tin toys unique to Japan that are rare to see these days.
The museum has a backyard and an open terrace.
Robbie seems to be feeling good about being able to walk around freely!
This is an art spot that everyone from children to adults can enjoy, so please invite your family and friends to visit.
