Japan Top Museum

Japan Top Museum

Spinning tops were once one of the essential toys for children, known as "koma" in Japan, and they remain one of the country’s most popular traditional toys today. The Japan Top Museum is located in Nagoya, in central Japan. The museum has collected over 20,000 spinning tops from all over Japan and more than 50 countries around the world. These tops come in various shapes and have unique ways of being played with, some of which are very old and quite precious.

In addition to showcasing these uniquely designed spinning tops, the Japan Top Museum also displays specialty toys from local snack shops and toys passed down through generations around the world. Visitors can not only view the top exhibitions but also learn how to spin them in person, and even buy some to take home. There’s nothing that can replace the joy and sparkle in a child’s eyes when they finally manage to spin a top. Of course, spinning tops aren’t just for kids — adults can enjoy them too, and it’s actually great for your health.
