Kyoto International Manga Museum

Unclaimed

Tickets is about 1,800 yen for an adult as of review date. There were plenty of seatings available through the museum for you to browse the manga available in the museum. There was also a small booth available where you could pay to have the staff draw an anime picture of you. But you needed to make a reservation, not sure how you could do that. It was fully booked by the time I reached around 3:30pm.

The Kyoto International Manga Museum is a must-visit for manga enthusiasts! With walls lined with thousands of manga from all genres and eras, it’s a haven for readers and collectors alike. The mix of Japanese and international manga makes it an inclusive and fascinating place to explore. You can read freely in cozy spots, learn about manga’s history, and even experience live drawing sessions by professional artists. The outdoor reading area is especially relaxing on a nice day. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to manga, this museum offers a unique and memorable experience in Kyoto!

This Museum was awesome! A great place to chill and read manga. Which is great for a taking a break after walking all day. Plenty of places to sit and read a few Mangas from your childhood. I read a few of my favorites!

A great venue to visit especially if you are an avid manga or comic book reader. Has a great homely vibe to it coupled with the general quietness maintained to give visitors a great reading experience. Possessing a great collection of manga from various eras beginning in the early 1930s, has exhibits that go into depth regarding the historical trends, styles and stories of manga and their authors and even has a small video game section. What stuck out most however, were the casts of the hands of various authors and artists, and the exhibit on adapting manga into animation form. However, it may appear dull for certain visitors

Nice place, lots of mangas and even a nice selection in english, all kinds of nice explanations on manga in general and other nice things. Entry fee for two adults was 2400 when i was there (may 2025)
