About this spot
Himi City in Toyama Prefecture is the birthplace of Fujiko Fujio (A), one of Japan's most celebrated manga artists. Located in the heart of the town, the Himi City Shiokaze Gallery is a must-visit for fans, displaying his best-known works and rare materials. Inside, reproductions of original artwork from nostalgic anime and manga such as Ninja Hattori-kun and Kaibutsu-kun fill the space, stirring childhood memories for adults and offering fresh discoveries for children. The Digital Manga Screen on the second floor, the first permanent installation of its kind in Japan, is sure to delight families and friends alike! The Manga Library on the second floor lets you read his works freely, so it is also a nice place to lose yourself in the world of manga on your own. Along the "Manga Road" around the gallery, character monuments are scattered about, and combining a stroll with your visit is a classic way to enjoy Himi. Admission is very reasonable, so drop in and fully enjoy the charm of the world of Fujiko Fujio (A).
