Sendai Anpanman Children's Museum & Mall — Local services in Sendai

Visited the Anpanman Museum in Sendai with my 4-year-old daughter and family friends, and she had the time of her life! From the moment we walked in, she was running from one exhibit to the next, completely mesmerized by the colorful play areas, interactive displays, and fun character statues. The live performances were also a huge hit!

Right at the entrance, there’s an adorable bakery selling character-shaped bread, which was almost too cute to eat. Outside, there are several open spaces for kids to run around, plus a frozen bead ice cream shop and a few restaurants to choose from. We had lunch at the retro diner-style café, where everything from the plates to the food was Anpanman-themed—such a fun touch for the kids!

The museum is super clean, well-organized, and has plenty of space to explore both indoors and outdoors. If your child loves Anpanman, this is a must-visit...

There is a little water play area outside -- perfect for cooling down a bit on a hot summer day. That was probably my daughter's favorite. (Bringing a towel and/or a change of clothes is not a bad idea). They also have live shows, which she loved also even though she doesn't speak a word of Japanese. There is a small café if you need a snack or caffeine. The tickets cost 1200 yen (~11 dollars) for kids and adults alike....

They have shows on but we didnt know about it so we missed it. Make sure to check for the show schedule when you arrive.

The Anpanman breads are great to look at bur they are really really sweet. Be careful not to buy too much or the whole family will get a...
