Ikaho Toy, Doll and Car Museum

Reviewed By sohlman33 - Brookfield, United States

As a car enthusiast and fan of Initial D, I have known about the Ikaho Toy, Doll, and Car Museum for quite some time. However, besides the sizeable Initial D presence from both the exhibit and the gift shop I was pleasantly surprised by the huge collection of cars throughout. They did a pretty good job of marketing the large collection of classis Minis which is good fun to walk through, but there are two other full floors of cars with the Initial D exhibit only taking up a small area. The museum is definitely worth it from a car enthusiast perspective regardless. That said, the rest of the museum was very cool as well - parts of it feel like an old Japanese street in the 50's, then turn the corner and you're welcomed by 1980's and 1990's video games. It's quite the range! They do force you through a particular path in this museum and you will end up going through 4 or 5 different gift shops by the time you get to the end.
