Kaiyodo Hobby Museum Shimanto, Toy museum in Shimanto, Japan

The Kaiyodo Hobby Museum displays 8,000 exhibits including anime figurines, model building kits, comics, and novelty toys throughout its multi-level exhibition space.

The museum opened in 2011 inside a former elementary school gymnasium as part of a regional development initiative to bring new life to the mountain area.

The exhibits showcase the evolution of Japanese toy manufacturing through Kaiyodo's collection of intricate figurines, food-packaged toys, and capsule machine items.

The museum operates daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM except Tuesdays, with admission fees of 800 yen for adults and 400 yen for children between 7 and 15.

Visitors can participate in diorama-making classes and explore the adjacent Kappa Museum, which contains 500 water goblin-themed artworks from modeling competitions.
