The Kodomo no Jidaikan museum in Niigata (Yuji Nishimura's place) is open occasionally, mostly holidays. During my first trip to Japan there was a Godzilla exhibit in Odaiba. They had costumes from the 2002 movie on display, pretty beat. |

There is also the Ultraman Festival every August in Ikebukuro. Usually they have some mixture of toys, props and costumes. Some years are better than others. There is always a theme: 2006 - 40th anniversary of Ultraman 2007 - 40th anniversary of Seven 2008 - Spaceships of the ultra series 2009 - Robots. Not sure whats the theme for this year. Its the 30th anniversary of Ultraman 80. Starting from next year the 40th anniversaries of the Silver Age Ultramen kick off (71 - returns, 72 - ace, 73 -taro, 74- leo) |

Not dedicated, but somewhat related... Over the summer at Epcot, the Japan Pavilion was hosting part of the collection from "the" Japanese tin toy king. Unfortunately, I had left my camera in the car. Dumb Dumb Dumb |

There were more toys when it opened a few years ago and the show dwindled down until it finally closed. |

From my understanding he also has several warehouses housing his full collection which are not open to the general public. Madness! |
