The Anpanman children’s Museum is a mall too at Yokohama, Kanagawa Japan. Anpanman is a favorite sweet bread in Japan and brought to life by becoming a famous superhero.

The story of Anpaman has many chapters that show the adventures of Anpanman, a superhero with an Anpan(bean-jam filled pastry)for a head that protects the world from an evil germ named Baikinman. Our Kids loves Anpanman as we have watched all the Anpanman movie series in our house. They know even all the characters in Anpanman episodes and been watching Anpanman movies a hundred times. So when we went back to Japan, we brought the kids to Anpanman Museum, saw there the life-size characters of Anpanman and friends and finally met Anpanman personally. From Tokyo, we rode a train and get off at Yokohama station. From Yokohama Station, we walked for 20 minutes and saw the Museum. Then we arrived at the Museum and saw all the characters from Anpanman movies in a life-size statue-lined up on the entrance of the Museum. Our Kids don’t know which one to check first as they love and they know all the characters of Anpanman and friends.
