Kaiyodo Figure Museum Kurokabe Ryuyukan, Figure art museum in Kurokabe Square, Japan.
Kaiyodo Figure Museum displays around 4,000 miniature figures arranged in detailed dioramas across several exhibition halls within a white Western-style building. The figures range from famous anime characters to specially designed scenes depicting different worlds.
The museum opened in 2005 as an extension of Kaiyodo's growth from a small plastic model shop founded in Osaka Prefecture in 1964. The company evolved from a modest workshop into a major manufacturer of collectible models and figures.
The collection reflects Japanese craftsmanship through figures from anime series. The entrance features life-size characters that showcase the attention to detail in character design.
The museum is roughly 11 minutes walk from Nagahama Station. Opening hours vary by season, so checking the current schedule before your visit is helpful.
Visitors receive a commemorative coin at entry which they can use in special vending machines on-site. These coins allow guests to obtain an exclusive figure or badge to take home as a souvenir.
