Admission, Cafe, and Exhibition Timing

The facility lists admission at 600 yen for adults and university students and 400 yen for junior-high and high-school students. Elementary-age children and younger visitors are free. Separate group discounts apply for eight or more people.

The Doll Cafe normally runs 9:00 AM-4:30 PM with last order at 4:15 PM from March through November. The operator currently notes that cakes and meals are not being served, so plan the cafe as a drink or soft-serve stop rather than a full lunch.

Getting There Without a Car

The official Fujikawaguchiko tourism listing estimates about 12 minutes from Kawaguchiko Station on the Saiko sightseeing bus Green Line. Alight at Muse-kan; the museum is immediately beside the stop in Yagizaki Park.

The current exhibition centers on cloth figures expressing courage and determination, with a concurrent oil-painting exhibition. Build in enough time before the 4:30 PM last admission, especially if relying on an infrequent return bus.

Traveler Actions

Choose another indoor attraction on August 20 because the museum is closed today.
Avoid Thursday, August 27 unless the operator posts a calendar change.
Arrive before the 4:30 PM last-admission time on an open day.
Use the Green Line Muse-kan stop and save the return-bus time before entering.
Plan food elsewhere if a full meal is needed; the cafe currently lists no cakes or meals.
