A space at little ones’ eye level; check ages and session rules.

Discover tactile play in a space surrounded by wood.

Pick an intriguing toy and ask the staff how to play.

We adults enjoyed the musical toys, mechanical toys and warm wooden play kitchen too.

We made toys and learned how to play from the many staff members.

I wished there were a healthy cafe where we could enjoy a leisurely meal.

I found the location a little hard to find, down a backstreet from Yotsuya-sanchome junction.

Can we eat inside the museum?

Food is not allowed inside, and only water or tea may be consumed on corridor benches. Plan a nearby meal if your visit crosses lunchtime.

Can we use a stroller inside?

Passages in the former school are narrow, so strollers should be folded and left at the entrance. A baby carrier is useful.

What facilities are there for families?

Rainy days：The museum is indoors, but the walk from the station is outside, so bring rain protection
Toilets and nursing：Changing facilities are in the accessible toilet and baby play area; nursing space is also available in the baby area
Food：Food is not allowed inside; only water or tea may be consumed on corridor benches
