Nagato Toy Museum

An interactive museum where visitors can learn and engage their senses through play. Set against the natural beauty of Nagato, blessed with the sea and forests, it was created as a place that connects people with nature through wooden toys. Inside, spaces centered on wooden toys spread throughout the museum, where children can freely use their hands and play.

Many of the toys on display were made by woodcraft artists. Designed with safety and comfort in mind, they let children play to their heart’s content while parents watch over them with peace of mind. The museum also features wooden play equipment for active fun, including the Nagato Toy Museum original "Wooden Egg Pool," making it enjoyable for all ages.

Inside, the space is designed so everyone from babies to elementary school children can spend time here in ways that suit their stage of growth. Surrounded by the scent of wood, visitors can enjoy time with natural materials through play. Experience programs such as wood education workshops are also offered, making this a special place where families can enjoy making things with wood together. With support from specialized staff, even small children can join easily.

The building uses locally sourced wood, and beyond the large windows, ocean views stretch out before you. There is also a museum shop inside where you can browse wooden toys and related items. Located next to the roadside station "Senzakitchen," it is also appealing for its easy access as part of a day of sightseeing and dining.
