The Fujiko F Fujio Museum, also known as the Doraemon Museum, is in Kawasaki, in the Kanto Region of Japan. It is dedicated to the manga artist Fujiko F. Fujio, the creator of Doraemon, and is a popular stop for visitors who know the series and for families who want to introduce it to children.
The museum is at 2-8-1 Nagao, Tama Ward, Kawasaki, Kanagawa 214-0023. Its Japanese name is 藤子・F・不二雄ミュージアム, and visitors may also see it listed under Doraemon Museum.
What to expect
The museum centres on the artist's own work. Visitors can see original artwork, which gives a sense of how the stories were drawn, and a range of interactive exhibits that invite people to take part rather than only look. For fans of Doraemon, seeing the original pages in person is the main draw.
