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.

This place is a national treasure. Give yourself at LEAST two hours to peruse the while facility because there is a lot to see. 😍 If you go on the weekend, you can get a manga "caricature" done of you by a professional. Talk about once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! The outside grounds are also lovely and they allow and encourage you to read any manga from their collection wherever your heart desires. I gotta come back here again!

Very neat place. Worth a visit, lots of good history and English explanations. Cheap to get in too! Majority of the books are in Japanese but they do have a small foreign language section on the first floor. I wish the gift shop had a little more brand related merchandise...but it wasn't horrible.
