Tokorozawa Sakura Town

Tokorozawa Sakura Town is a modern and unique spot that blends culture, design, and entertainment. The architecture is striking, especially the Kadokawa Culture Museum, and the area feels clean and well organized. It’s a nice place to walk around, enjoy exhibitions, and relax at nearby cafés. A good destination for a casual half-day visit.

I enjoyed everything from the shrine, museum, to the lunch buffet. Even things I don’t usually eat tasted so good at the buffet. The shrine’s ceiling was beautiful and definitely worth the visit if you’re a Final Fantasy fan. I bought an amulet to pass my exams. The outside of the museum is such a site to see. The 8m(26ft) library is filled to the brim with manga and literature. Plus some pretty cool art pieces I didn’t want to spoil in the photos.

Magnificent architecture. The library area is also wonderful. The events were OK, but not worth travelling all the way to Tokorozawa for.

Absolutely beautiful space with the Kadokawa museum designed by Kengo Kuma. The complex is a bit far from Tokyo and take around 1 hour to arrive. However, the museum itself is well worth the trip. Built with 20,000 granite tiles, each weighing between 50 and 70 kilograms, the museum has 4-5 floors with a manga lounge, beautiful and huge library with tens of thousands of titles, a cafe and different exhibition and chill places. Highly recommended to check this place out if you have time, even if just for this architectural landmark.

Wonderful day trip! Perfect spot for a casual date. Lots of very good food and shops. I really enjoyed the book store! They also have wonderful art exhibits and some beautiful Tori Gates. They also have the Borderless exhibit next to it so if you go in the afternoon when it gets dark you go right across the street for some wonderful sights and sounds!
