[2025 Tokyo Attraction] Travel Guide for Hasegawa Machiko Memorial Museum of Art (Updated Jul)

The Hasegawa Machiko Memorial Museum is a reproduction of Sazae-san's room, and you can visit the slightly retro living room of the Fuguta family. It is full of information about Hasegawa Machiko. Her manga is also on display and introduced in detail. This museum incorporates a lot of digital technology, and you can try drawing on a wooden board with chalk (made of polystyrene) (the drawing disappears in a few minutes), or click on the monitor to read a four-panel manga. There are mechanisms that both adults and children can enjoy😊 Even if you go alone, if you talk to the staff, they will give you detailed explanations, and they will also talk to you to make it easier to draw☺️ There is also a cafe on the premises. There are lots of Sazae-san drawings on the napkins🫣 The Hasegawa Machiko Memorial Museum is full of playfulness. 450m from Sakura-shinmachi Station on the Tokyu Denentoshi Line.

You can hear familiar music (the theme song from Sazae-san) playing in the streets around Sakurashinmachi. Sakurashinmachi Shopping Street is called Sazae-san Street, and the heartwarming song from the TV show Sazae-san is playing casually. Near the entrance to Tokyu Sakurashinmachi Station, you will be greeted by the Sazae-san family and a giant Sazae-san head made of flowers. There is also a bronze statue of Sazae-san in front of the police box. At Sakurashinmachi 1-chome Green Space (Sazae-san Park), the Sazae-san family is depicted and their faces (pictures) are drawn on the ground. The area around Sakurashinmachi has a wonderful atmosphere that shows how much Sazae-san is loved. I think it's also attractive as a tourist spot 😊 Be careful not to forget your wallet 👛 when shopping 😝 Sakurashinmachi Station is a stop on the Tokyu Denentoshi Line. #Tokyo #Tokyo trip #Tokyo stroll #Sakurashinmachi #Setagaya #Sazae-san #Tokyo sightseeing

#cityplaybook #familytrip #localguides Located in Setagaya, Tokyo, the Hasegawa Machiko Memorial Museum of Art is a heartfelt tribute to one of Japan's most beloved manga artists, best known for creating the iconic "Sazae-san" series. Opened in 1985, the museum celebrates the life, art, and cultural impact of Machiko Hasegawa, the first female professional manga artist in Japan. The museum features a charming mix of exhibits, from original "Sazae-san" comic strips and manuscripts to Hasegawa’s personal art collection, which includes Japanese ceramics, Western paintings, and folk crafts. These works reflect her refined taste and passion for the arts beyond manga. One of the highlights is the recreation of her work desk and living space, giving visitors a glimpse into her creative process. The museum also regularly hosts special exhibitions, often featuring guest artists and themes that influenced Hasegawa’s work. Nearby, the Sazae-san Street and a small park celebrate the manga’s enduring legacy with statues and themed installations. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, this museum offers a peaceful and nostalgic journey through Japanese post-war culture and comic art. It’s a must-visit for fans of manga, art history, and those curious about the roots of Japanese pop culture.

#cityplaybook If you’re in the mood for a quiet, quirky stroll through Tokyo, Sakurashinmachi is a charming little stop—especially if you’re a fan of Japan’s beloved anime family, Sazae-san. The neighborhood has a relaxed, local vibe that makes you feel like you’re part of the community. I started my visit at the Hasegawa Machiko Art Museum, which celebrates the life and work of Sazae-san’s original creator. The museum is calm and colorful, with sweet little details for longtime fans. Next to the museum, you’ll find Sazae-san Park, complete with statues and nods to the characters. It’s small but adorable. Then I strolled along Sazae-san Street, where even the manhole covers and shop signs are themed—so fun to spot! Why I recommend Sakurashinmachi: ・It’s full of nostalgic charm, especially for Sazae-san fans ・A quiet Tokyo neighborhood perfect for a peaceful, themed walk 📍Sakurashinmachi, Setagaya City, Tokyo #Sakurashinmachi #SazaeSan #TokyoWalks #AnimeTown #HiddenTokyo #HasegawaMachikoMuseum #TokyoNeighborhoods #CartoonHeritage #CityGuide
