The Toy, Doll, and Automobile Museum lives up to its name, but it was more than three times as impressive as I expected. There are various genres, and I was amazed at how much they had gathered and displayed. Starting with teddy bears, it goes on to toys from the Showa era, posters, and cars. There are about three souvenir shops related to each genre along the way, and some attractions? Shooting games, pinball, gachapon (capsule toys), and a cafe on the way out. The sheer number of items is overwhelming, so I think it's definitely worth a visit.
I traveled from Tokyo to Tokyo, stopping in Kitakami, Morioka, Kakunodate, Hirosaki, and finally Hakodate. I relied on this JR Pass the whole way; reserving seats online was very convenient, and exchanging for physical tickets at the airport was a breeze. Plus, the price was reasonable, making it a must-have for non-self-driving travelers.
They contacted us in advance, arrived early on the day, proactively confirmed route information, and provided thoughtful and attentive service.
