You can easily spend all day here. Old school
Turned into manga library/museums. There’s outdoor grass fields where people can lay down and nap / read / hangout. Loved it here.

It's really more a library so if you do visit the best enjoyment to be gotten from it is to sit down and read stuff.
The exhibit is ok but you'll be done with it in 15mn

Nice museum, I enjoyed the elementary school side of it more than the manga side. A good selection of English manga to sit and read if you need a rest.
