Niigata Manga Animation Museum — Attraction in Niigata

If you like anime, like to know some of the behind the scenes how to make one, and you are around the area, I would recommend you to visit this place since the ticket price is cheap (¥200). This place is similar in terms of behind the scenes of making anime to the one in Tokyo, but free ( Suginami Anime Museum). The place is not so big. They have some interaction things you can do which is fascinating. The best part is the special exhibition that they changed every several months. The ticket is a bit more expensive compare the general ticket, but if they exhibit your favorit anime, I would definately recommend you to...

Only a 160¥ if you show that you have the bus loop pass so can't complain tbh. Neat permanent exhibition but not particularly interested in most of the series. Would say that like maybe 30% of the content has English support but mostly can be overcome by using Google lense if you want. The special temporary exhibition (which was Apothecary Dairies when I went) is a fair bit more expensive at around 1500¥?

If you're a weeb and going along the loop anyway it's probably worth stopping by for the other stuff surrounding. And especially if the current special exhibit...

If you're into manga and anime it's a worthy visit. If you're a artist then you might find this more interesting, They had a special 50th anniversary when I visited, which cost 3x more than the standard ticket. Thought it would be a worthwhile exhibition, however you can't take any photos and you can't re enter. The exhibition was mainly just a few pictures of artwork from the special 50th anniversary, and in the main exhibition a lot of things seemed to be missing. Not the best museum I've been to but not the worst. Lots of gasha-pon machines there...
