Karuizawa Erz Toy Museum, Toy museum in Nagakura, Japan.
The Karuizawa Erz Toy Museum displays educational wooden toys and crafts originating from the Erz region of Germany across multiple exhibition spaces.
The museum, which opened its doors in April 1998, preserves a collection of traditional toys that German artisans have manufactured for over three centuries.
The museum contains a dedicated wooden toy shop selling genuine German crafts and a picture book section featuring Western literature for children.
