About this sight
First opened by former Glico designer and toy advocate Yuzo Kato, the museum was later entrusted to Akio Nishida, the museum's first superintendent, upon Mr. Yuzo's death in 2001. Reopening its doors in 2003, the Arima Toys & Automata Museum features 6 floors with galleries for traditional Dutch and contemporary toys, as well as automata, Japanese mechanical dolls. The second-floor restaurant also offers visitors a dining opportunity.
