It is operated as a facility with both museum and library functions to collect, store, and release materials related to manga, which is now attracting attention from around the world, conducting cultural research, and holding exhibitions and events based on these materials.

Kawaguchi-ko Momiji Corridor

This is a popular spot where maple trees are planted along the lakeshore of Lake Kawaguchi, 830 meters above sea level, for about 1.5 kilometers. As the name "corridor" implies, the overlapping branches of the maple trees and the color of the leaves that have fallen to the ground make for a beautiful tunnel of colored leaves.
