Hachi & Seizo Tashima Museum of Picture Book Art
An art museum where parents and children can spend the whole day together
There are lots of interesting classrooms inside the school building. You’ll also find Hachi Café, the Kusamura Room, and a shop selling products. Outside, a mother goat and her kids live on the grounds. On nice days, you can search for rare aquatic creatures in the outdoor biotope area.
