Takaoka Fujiko · F · Fujio hometown gallery — Attraction in Takaoka

Quite honestly, I was disappointed. The main problem is that the exhibition is entirely in Japanese and you are not allowed to use your phone to translate the explanations. So, unless you have an N2 or N1 in Japanese, you are clearly not welcome here. It is a shame. Doraemon has been a staple anime not only for Japanese kids, but for many of us around the world. It has been dubbed into many languages and many of us would love the chance the visit Fujiko san's hometown and learn more about his life and earlier comics. Therefore, it would be great if the museum would bother to translate the explanations and comic pages exhibited into English. Or alternatively, allow us to use translation apps. I tried to look up a kanji I did not understand on my kanji app, and inmediately a staff member told me off. The only thing they made an effort to translate were the rules. Additionally, the exhibition is very tiny, it is basically a...

Definitely worth visiting if you are a fan of Doraemon! We had a packed schedule so we were only able to spend just under an hour here and even though the museum is quite small, we definitely needed a bit more time! The entrance to the exhibition is so cute - it's Doraemon's pink door! The exhibits are in Japanese, however we were given a booklet which had an English translation (once you are finished, you return this booklet back to the staff). I really enjoyed learning more about Doraemon's creator Fujiko F. Fujio. There is also a small area to watch a short Doraemon film - we didn't have time to watch this as the museum was about to close. However the film they were playing did have English subtitles. There is a small gift shop at the end of the museum which has some cute...
