Ikaho Toy, Doll & Car Museum

Ikaho Toy, Doll & Car Museum is a museum complex with extensive collections spread across multiple exhibition halls, featuring Japanese tin toys, dolls from around the world, and approximately 100 classic cars. The layout allows visitors to move between themed sections while exploring different periods and types of objects in one location.

Founded in 1994, this museum preserves objects from different periods, including vehicles and toys that reflect Japan's evolution during the Showa era. The collection documents how toy and automobile design changed in the country over several decades.

The museum displays traditional Japanese dolls and teddy bears from around the world in dedicated sections. Visitors can walk through recreated street scenes from mid-20th century Japan that capture everyday life from that era.

The museum sits near Ikaho Hot Springs and provides ample parking for vehicles, making it convenient to arrive by car. Plan to spend several hours exploring the different collection areas to see everything the museum offers.

The museum features a photo area recreating the Fujiwara Tofu Shop from the Initial D manga series, attracting both car fans and manga readers. This special section blends Japanese pop culture with the museum's real collection in a playful way.
