To get to Doraemon Museum, exact name being Fujiko · F · Fujio Museum, you need to board a bus from Noborito station. It is a 10 mins bus ride for 210 yen. You can just pay by tapping your SUICA card as well.

Take note that the entrance tickets can only be brought locally from the convenience store Lawsons using the Loppi machines. My airbnb host had kindly help me with my request to purchase the tickets for me! :D If you want to check on the tickets availability, click >>here<<

Doraemon themed bus!

Blue seats!

Cute doorbell!

Quite a number of Japanese boarded the bus as well. Seems like this museum is quite popular with the locals! During the bus ride, the Japanese seems excited over seeing some things along the way. Not sure what's going on though >.< Japanese not good enough yet! We arrived before the museum is opened and a short queue had formed!

Doraemon themed even on the walls!!

Variety of decorations to look at while queuing~

We were given a guide and a machine to listen to the stories for the exhibitions. Photo taking is not allowed within the indoor exhibition area! 

We are out of the exhibition to take photo! 

Even the water fountain looks cool!

Let's read Doraemon?

Vending machines for Doraemon goodies!

After lunch, we stepped outdoors for more photos!

There was a small shop outside and we bought doraemon design macaroni! :P After that, we ended up back inside the museum and entered the souvenir shop! It's time to take the bus back to Noborito station and head to Ikebukuro!
