This is just a few minutes walk from Shizuoka JR station. There's a covered walkway leads directly to it. Admission to the permanent exhibition is free, but the special exhibition is usually ¥300-500. There's a history of models in Japan, but unfortunately it is only in Japanese. The good news is that there are some explanations of traditional Shizuoka crafts that are Japanese and English! The bulk of the collection is simply model displays. Shizuoka is the model capital, so many of the famous manufacturers are based here including Bandai. There are lots of Gundam models on display, as well as more standard model cars and airplanes.
It is very small, but considering the importance of models in Shizuoka and Japanese culture in general I'd highly recommend visiting here if only for a few minutes!
From what I read on the website, I thought it had more to do with traditional craftsmanship, but it was model exhibition. Still interesting though and the admission is free, so there's that.
Nice worship place if you are otaku like me. Great collection of Pla-Model. Good value.
Very small. And not alot for sale. The displays where very well placed. Just like any hobby shop
Free entrance to view the history of Japan plastic model manufacturing. For Gunpla fans, there are a few limited premium Bandai products that you can find here. Worth strolling through for 10 - 15 min if Ty Ou are around.
