Snoopy Museum Tokyo (スヌーピーミュージアム東京, Sunūpī Myūjiamu Tōkyō) is a museum in Machida, Tokyo, based on Snoopy and characters from the Peanuts comic strip franchise by Charles M. Schulz.[1]
History[edit]
The original Snoopy Museum Tokyo opened in Roppongi on 23 April 2016, and attracted almost a million visitors for the next two years. It closed its doors in 2018, the year which also marked the 50th anniversary of Peanuts being first introduced in Japan, after its final exhibition (21 April to 24 September 2018).[2][3]
The current incarnation of the museum opened at the Minami-machida Grandberry Park in Machida on 14 December 2019, as an official satellite of the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in Santa Rosa, California.[4] It reopened in February 2024 after renovations.[1]
Facilities[edit]
The museum features a gift shop called Brown's Store and the Peanuts Café.[4]
Transportation[edit]
The museum is accessible within walking distance of Minami-machida Grandberry Park Station along the Tokyu Railway Den-en-toshi Line.
