AWARDS
The Tokyo Toy Museum was awarded the Grand Prix for 2023 in the Children in Museums Award, an annual international award given to hands-on museums for children!
Excerpts from the evaluation report;
It places great importance on ‘Omotenashi’ (hospitality), greeting all visitors with a smile, then actively communicating with children and their parents by having fun together, rather than teaching them how to play.
