The Heartwarming World of Teddy Bears

Approximately a 10-minute walk from the Sakura Namiki Exit of Izu-Kogen Station on the Izukyu Line, this stuffed animal museum features "Teddy Girl," which is listed in the Guinness Book of Records, along with antique bears and works by teddy bear artists from around the world. The museum also hosts special exhibitions, such as the "My Neighbor Totoro Plush Toy Exhibition," and workshops on making stuffed animals from scratch. Between viewing the exhibits, the open-feeling tearoom offers a relaxed place to spend time with featured sweets and drinks. Shopping is another highlight at the museum shop, which carries teddy bears and teddy-bear merchandise.
