Museum of Tin Toys

From Emperor Meiji’s contribution of a spinning wheel called “ito-hiki hazumiguruma” to American car models from the 1940s, this collection of about 3,000 pieces amassed by Kitahara-san is funky and eclectic. Not to mention steeped in nostalgia! The examples of racing cars, fire-trucks and motor bikes have been well maintained and are very eye-catching for the youngsters.
