The museum is housed in the old Yotsuya Fourth Elementary School building, constructed before World War II and now decommissioned, which has been extensively renovated using a large amount of domestic timber to create a warm, wooden space. In the "Toy Forest," there are toys and play equipment made from domestic wood that visitors can play with and explore, as well as a ball pit filled with 20,000 wooden balls made from broadleaf trees from Hokkaido. The museum features a "Planning Exhibition Room" showcasing toys from Japan and around the world, among a total of eight spaces that allow visitors to play while personally experiencing the charm of toys. There is also a display room featuring award-winning toys recognized as "Good Toys," a "Toddler's Small World" specifically for children aged 0 to 2, and a handmade workshop where toys can be created using readily available materials. The museum shop offers a wide variety of wooden toys, captivating visitors, and is open to non-admission guests for shopping. Visitors can physically touch the items, making it convenient for selecting souvenirs or gifts.
