Anpanman Museum

The Anpanman Museum (アンパンマンミュージアム神戸), located in the lively Kobe Harborland district, is a vibrant attraction specially designed for families and fans of Japan’s beloved red bean bread superhero. Inspired by the creations of author Takashi Yanase, the museum brings the colorful world of the Anpanman manga and anime series to life. Visitors can explore immersive themed zones that recreate iconic scenes from the show, enjoy interactive exhibits, and take part in playful activities tailored for young children. From climbing structures to live character performances, the space encourages kids to engage both physically and imaginatively with their favorite heroes—like Baikinman, Dokin-chan, and of course, Anpanman himself.

Beyond the play areas, the museum complex features a full shopping zone offering Anpanman-themed merchandise, from exclusive toys and clothing to stationery and character snacks. There are also family-friendly restaurants and cafés serving adorable Anpanman-shaped meals, making it easy to enjoy a full day at the venue. While most exhibits are geared toward preschoolers, the vibrant displays and nostalgic charm also resonate with adults who grew up with the series. Whether you're seeking hands-on fun or a glimpse into one of Japan’s most iconic children’s franchises, the Anpanman Museum delivers a joyful, multi-sensory experience for travelers visiting Kobe with kids.
