"Chibi Maruko-chan Land" is where you can enjoy the world of Chibi Maruko-chan.

Located in Shimizu-ku, Shizuoka City (formerly Shimizu City), where Chibi Maruko-chan is set and where Momoko Sakura, the original author, was born, this is the only permanent museum of "Chibi Maruko-chan" in Japan.

Starting with photo spots and projection mapping where you can experience the world of the anime, it is full of attractions such as "Sakura Momoko Museum", "Chibi Maruko-chan Shrine" and "Goods Shop"!

at the entrance
The golden Chibi Maruko-chan statue welcomes you!

We came to "Chibi Maruko-chan Land"!

At the entrance, a gold Chibi Maruko-chan statue welcomes you. It is said that it is the cover pose of the first volume of the book.

The cute wall pattern is based on the geometric pattern that Momoko Sakura loved. It was created by Kanako Nomura, the art director of the anime Chibi Maruko-chan.

Maru-chan appeared at nice timing. In the same pose as the statue, cheese!

Check the official website for the schedule of Maru-chan's appearance and photo session.

There are classmates' slippers in the shoe box!

It was a lot of fun to open it, thinking, "Who is this?" Please look for Maru-chan's indoor shoes.
