Fujiko · F · Fujio Museum — Attraction in Kawasaki

I recently visited the Fujiko F. Fujio Museum in Kawasaki, also known as the Doraemon Museum, and had an amazing time. As a huge fan of Doraemon, I was thrilled to explore the museum showcasing Fujiko's original artwork and creations. The ticket price is 1000 yen, which can only be purchased online in advance, so make sure to plan ahead. open daily from 10 am to 6 pm, the museum is close every Tuesday. The Year-end and New Year Holidays.

The museum offers various facilities, including: Exhibition Rooms: Two rooms featuring Fujiko F. Fujio's original artwork, including Doraemon and other manga characters Manga Corner: A cozy area where visitors can read Fujiko's manga, including the complete Doraemon series Theater: A theater showing original animations every 20 minutes Rooftop Playground: An outdoor play area with life-size statues of Doraemon characters Museum Cafe: A cafe serving themed food and drinks, like Doraemon cheesecake and latte art Gift Shop: A shop selling exclusive Doraemon merchandise

Additionally, the museum provides, Elevator: For easy access, toilet: Clean and well-maintained facilities. Kids Corner: A play area for young visitors Luggage Storage: Convenient storage for visitors Wi-Fi: Available throughout the museum

Getting to the museum is easy, with options including: Train: Take the Odakyu Line to Noborito Station (20 minutes from Shinjuku) Shuttle Bus: A 10-minute ride from Noborito Station to the museum (210 yen for adults, 100 yen for children) Taxi: Available for those who prefer a direct ride

The parking area is spacious, making it convenient for visitors with vehicles.

Overall, I had a fantastic time at the Fujiko F. Fujio Museum, and I highly recommend it to Doraemon fans and manga enthusiasts. Their staff's very helpful...

the experience is really awesome! if you are a doraemon lovers (or a fujiko f. fujio's art fans in general) is definitely a must visit place when you're in japan!

you can only buy your ticket at LAWSON store in Japan so make sure the moment you land your feet there just straight to the concenuence store and purchase the ticket at the loppi machine. because the machine is in 100% japanese make sure to look it up first on how to buy the ticket! (there are plenty of tutorials)

access to the place is easy as well. from tokyo station you need to take the train to noborito station (use google maps to guide you about the route and transfer). at noborito station you just went downstairs and there's a doraemon shuttle bus that is depart in every 10 minutes and it took almost 10minutes as well by bus and 20-30minutes by walking.

inside the hall they will provide you with a phone device that act as the "tour guide" inside the hall. the device is in multiple language of your choice (there is english, japanese, and chinese if i am not mistaken). a tip for you because it is quite crowded make sure to bring yourself an earplug/headphone so you could hear the explanation through the device thoroughly.

there is a theatre there and they provided with english subtitle as well:)

there's cafe inside the museum with range of 500-1500¥ but you would have to bear with the waiting list:) there's also a photo sticker machine and a little park outside the museum. you can bring food and beverages inside but eating only allowed at the outside park.

before going out don't forget to buy merchandise as well and take the stamp paper collection for...

Just a disclaimer - I visited the museum back in September 2019. Somehow all of my photos were lost and my review disappear, so I figure I'll write another one. I can't guarantee the experience will be the same when you go after you read this review.

First of all, you need to purchase the ticket before you go, since they have allocated spaces at each time slots. I had to use online tutorials and with the help of Google Translate, was able to book a spot and purchased a ticket from a 7-11 nearby, when I was visiting Kawasaki.

Keep in mind the museum is a bit out of the way from the city. Even from Kawasaki station, you need to take a train, then walk for a bit. If you're a big fan of Doraemon, it's definitely worth the time and effort.

The first half of the museum is exhibition, and you're not allowed to take any photos inside. You can get a headphone and a device which you can play in your own language when visiting each exhibits. As someone that grew up with Doraemon, it was definitely a fascinating experience. I feel nostalgic adults will enjoy this best.

The second half is more for activity, and it's tailored more for kids. There are playgrounds and comic books library where kids (and adult with kids heart) can enjoy the activities. There's also a cafe that serves Doraemon themed food and drinks. It's a bit pricey, but you pay for the design.

The cost of admission was 1000 yen when I went, and it was definitely worth the admission. I would definitely recommend this for those that are big fans of Fujiko F Fujio...
