Kurayoshi Museum, Figure museum in Kurayoshi, Japan
The Kurayoshi Museum contains over 2,000 miniature recreations, including dinosaurs, animals, and anime characters displayed in Japan's oldest circular school building.
Built in 1955 as an educational facility with fan-shaped classrooms, the structure faced demolition until local residents gathered 7,000 signatures for its preservation.
The museum represents the region's connection to manga culture through its partnership with a local figure manufacturer and extensive collection of popular characters.
Located at 1-2971-2 Kajimachi, the museum opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with extended hours until 6:00 PM during July through September.
Visitors can participate in hands-on activities to create food sample models and photograph their works in a dedicated special effects corner.
