    I lined up for these photos myself. I really, really loved this place.

    The whole walk there was full of Kitaro stuff, and the staff were especially friendly. They even helped take photos.

    There was also a big Kitaro figure at the entrance with someone inside it. It looked really, really heavy, so that seemed tough!

    But they still gave a thumbs-up, which was pretty funny.

    I deleted the photos, though, because I looked too ugly in them hahaha.

    If you download an app, you can translate things into Chinese.

    I think I stayed inside for about two hours.

    I also ran into a mom visiting with her child. I remember we had a little chat, but I honestly forgot what we talked about.

    The kid was really cute though haha.

    There was one area inside that felt kind of eerie, and I thought the atmosphere was done pretty well.

    I liked it a lot.

    If you’re into this kind of thing, you should definitely check it out. It’s a very comfortable place to walk around.

    After its full renovation and upgrade in spring 2024, the overall space feels much more open and fluid.

    What makes it especially moving is that it doesn’t just showcase the lively, mysterious world of yokai from GeGeGe no Kitaro. Through precious original manuscripts, old photographs, and immersive displays, it also leads visitors step by step into Shigeru Mizuki’s extraordinary life, one marked by many hardships yet always filled with humor and a childlike spirit.

    I wasn't familiar with GeGeGe no Kitaro before, but visiting here helped me learn its background. I also found out that Shigeru Mizuki took part in the war and loved adventure, traveling to many countries to collect unique stories and customs. No wonder the Kitaro yokai stories are so vivid and fascinating!
