Established in 1986, the Yokohama Doll Museum is a captivating celebration of global doll-making heritage, featuring over 10,000 figures from across the globe. Visitors can admire everything from delicate European antique bisque dolls and intricate feudal Japanese karakuri automata to masterworks crafted by designated Living National Treasures. Among its most celebrated artifacts are historic "blue-eyed dolls," sent from the United States in 1927 as diplomatic tokens of goodwill. Located near the scenic waterfront, this enchanting museum offers an intricately detailed window into world culture and classic craftsmanship.
