MK Guide Recommends
Nestled in the charming cobblestone streets of Arima Onsen, the Arima Toys and Automata Museum welcomes visitors into a whimsical world of childhood wonder. Spanning six floors, this privately curated collection combines nostalgia and craftsmanship, featuring European wooden toys, intricate hand-cranked automata, and Japanese tin creations. Each floor has a different theme—ranging from early 20th-century dollhouses to kinetic sculptures that come alive at the push of a button. More than just a display, it offers an interactive experience: children and adults alike can explore moving figures and try hands-on exhibits that spark the imagination. With a gift shop full of unique treasures and seasonal toy-making workshops, it makes for a delightful break from the hot springs outside.
