Tokyo Toy Museum — Attraction in Tokyo

Fantastic place for kids. Well managed with volunteers who will help you with games and rules if asked. Two floors with around 8 theme based rooms. We went on weekend but it was still okay - not too crowded. Booked the tickets online beforehand but saw some people buying tickets at the reception (their website says online ticket reservations only). You will definitely need google maps to reach the place if you are walking from the station. We took a cab so reaching the place was fast.

Although the place is mainly for kids, saw some Couples having some quality time with board games room at 3rd floor. Seriously considering yo take their half yearly pass. Will be worth it I think.

Just 2 things I did not like and May be they can improve upon: If you are with an Infant, The nursery room is pretty basic, with just a plain bench, no covers / privacy (when breastfeeding) … and no place to keep baby while you make bottle milk. They can do better arrangement I think. They allow re-entry only on weekdays I think. So on weekends, if you exit (mostly to eat/drink the food you might have brought with you), you can’t go in again. I mean the kids are bound to get hungry after some time so there should be some place to refresh within the museum area.

Tip: there is a toy workshop on 3rd floor with some pre-defined start times. It’s better if you check out their schedule as soon as you reach the place so you attend it for sure. Else by the time you finish 2nd floor and go to 3rd floor, you (and the kid) are already...

Our family adventure at the Tokyo Toy Museum was an absolute hit, especially coming all the way from Australia with our 18-month-old and 9-year-old. What struck us most was the warm and welcoming vibe from the staff – they were not only friendly but incredibly accommodating. Navigating the museum with an Aussie accent and curious kids in tow was made so much easier thanks to their kindness.

Our son, in particular, had a ball. He not only explored an abundance of toys but also managed to make a bunch of little friends along the way. It was heartwarming to see the older staff thrilled to engage with our son, creating an atmosphere that felt like an extended family. The genuine hospitality made our visit memorable, and the handmade paper cuttings were the perfect touch, giving us a sweet reminder of the friendliness that permeated the Tokyo Toy Museum. For English Speaking / Aussie families seeking a playful and heartwarming experience, this museum is an...

Come to the Tokyo Toy Museum for two reasons.

First: you have a child and you would like to have a great play time. The museum is a wonderful place to play with toys and equipment that you are (if you are a tourist) unlikely to have played with before. This includes some Japan-focused segments if you are looking for a specifically cultural experience. The emphasis is on natural materials and open-ended play. Especially if you avoid peak periods, you and your young children (under 7 would be my guess) will have a really special time. The volunteer demonstrators are very helpful. No Japanese is necessary.

Second: you are interested in toys and play, and/or would like to buy some unusual and high quality toys. This is definitely not a museum in the usual sense (there are some displays behind glass, but most of the place is play areas), but it is certainly an exhibition and exploration of play. The shop has many toys that are both well priced and...
