All Reviews of Chibi Maruko-chan Land

As soon as you step into the world of Chibi Maruko-chan, it really feels like you're going back to your childhood.

The familiar Maruko, her classmates, and all kinds of classic scenes are brought to life in 3D. As you walk around taking pictures, you can't help looking for the characters you know.

You may also get a chance to interact and take pictures with “Maruko herself”!

There are 2 appearances on weekdays and 3 on holidays. If the timing works out, I highly recommend adding it to your plans. Seeing Maruko appear in person is really cute!

Chibi Maruko-chan Land is also inside S-PULSE DREAM PLAZA, so after visiting, you can grab a meal, browse the shops, and do some shopping, making it very convenient to plan your day.

When you're in Shimizu, Shizuoka, how could you miss Maruko's hometown!

For a 1,200 JPY admission fee, you can step into Chibi Maruko-chan Land and feel like you've instantly traveled back to childhood. The students of Class 3-4 are all lined up—Maruko, Tama-chan, Hanawa, Maruo... Every character feels as familiar as an old classmate.

The museum also has original manga artwork, anime scripts, and an introduction to Momoko Sakura's life. Looking at the pencil drafts and revision marks, I realized that those seemingly ordinary childhood moments were all precious memories from the creator's life.

The funniest part is the Sakura family—Grandpa Tomozou, Maruko's mom and dad. Every one of them makes you think, "This is exactly like my family!"

There are no thrilling rides here, but it's filled with childhood memories. My biggest takeaway after walking around was—turns out we were all Maruko once!

The admission fee is pretty expensive. After visiting once, I don't think I'd come back.

This place is pretty boring. Going once is more than enough.
