HAKONE TOY MUSEUM
T. KITAHARA COLLECTION

Over 3,000 domestic and foreign-made toys produced between the 1890’s and the 1960’s are on display. This impressive selection was collected by Japan’s most famous toy collector, Mr. KITAHARA Teruhisa. This is a unique museum in which you can see many charming and nostalgia-inducing toys including a collection of Japanese tin toys and a motion display that was once shown in jewelery store windows in U.S.A. around 60 years ago. The museum is situated in the Hakone Garden Museum together with the Museum of Mechanical Musical Instruments and Herb Terrace.


Smoking Robot
When the switch is on, this robot will walk a short distance with rainbow colors shining from its head, before it stops and blows smoke with its eyes twinkling red. It is unrefined like a robot, but has a human-like expression. 1950’s
