Tokorozawa Sakura Town, located in Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture, is a complex facility that opened in November 2020. The vast site includes a museum, restaurants, stores, multi-purpose hall, and shrine.

The symbol of the project is the Kadokawa Culture Museum, designed by Kengo Kuma, one of Japan's most famous architects. The museum is made with its dynamic use of granite. The 30-meter high, five-story building houses a museum, art gallery, library, and anime museum. You can enjoy the latest in pop culture all at once. One of the highlights of the museum is the "Bookshelf Theater" on the 4th and 5th floors, which is surrounded by giant 8-meter high bookshelves.

Additionally, there is an event hall for eSports and live performances, and the "Da Vinci Store", an interactive bookstore under the direct management of KADOKAWA. There is also a terrace and the Musashino Reiwa Shrine, the starting point for the 88 pilgrimage sites of sacred anime sites, making this a hot spot where you can forget about time and enjoy the many contents.

Highlights

  • The museum is made up of 20,000 pieces of granite that have been hand-applied.
  • At the Musashino Reiwa Shrine, you can get a unique "deadline amulet".
  • There is also a store selling original Saitama Prefecture goods that can only be purchased here.
