- Geranun GiraboonyanonOctober 6, 2013Lovely place ‼ Kyoto International Manga Museum. If you are interested in Manga, don’t miss to visit this museum. It is on Karasuma St, take subway from Kyoto station, get off at Karasuma-Oike. Read moreUpvoted Mar 24
- Merve UlaşJune 1, 2015You should absolutely see this place. I really enjoyed. There is a guy who can make manga portrait of you :)
- helio salemaApril 23, 2016Great place to visit and spend an afternoon. You can't take pictures inside. But you can read every manga that you can get. Check out the schedule of events and special exhibitions and bring your kids
- Jeff ForbesOctober 11, 2015This is a super cool place to hang and read manga. They have a small international section with manga in EN + a few others. They have an awesome outdoor area to read + a small museum.
- Fabio ResendeDecember 30, 2016It seems extra interesting for Japanese speakers, as it almost functions as a library. But for non Japanese speakers there's not a whole lot to do.
- Justin AshleyApril 4, 2018Such a wonderful place to learn about the development of manga. And you can get your portrait done anime style! (Great for kids)
- Mariah MApril 25, 2015very cool if you know japanese. otherwise for non-japanese speakers its sort if boring. still cheap admission though
- Tom Van GoylenMarch 19, 2015They should've called this the Manga Library instead. It's basically a huge Manga café where you can read mangas from all the different time periods. There's one big room with historic information too
- Rachel CJuly 18, 2014The third floor has more adult manga (not x-rated, but more interesting fare.) also check out the performance about the precursor to manga, a form of picture storytelling.
- Hans HauptJune 30, 2012English boards litter the display but 95% of the Manga is in Japanese. Worth a look if you enjoy Manga. Better on Weekends as they have live Manga Studios - watch Manga being made.
- Pamela PizarroMay 12, 2014Loved it! Infinite titles for reading, I don't speak Japanese but there are issues in English too
- Ariane RinehartAugust 24, 2016Large part of this is a huge Manga reading library, with some informational exhibits on the 2nd floor.
- Brice ChallamelAugust 5, 2011Better read Japanese to enjoy fully. Special exhibitions are nice and workshops or portraits on week-ends make it worth your while! ;)
- Ásgeir KristinssonApril 3, 2018Good museum for foreigners to learn the history of manga (and anime)!
- Valerio FalluccaAugust 16, 2015Incredible collection of Manga since the very beginning; deserves a visit if you are comics passionate
- ASJune 16, 2019The exciting history of manga is in this wonderful place ♥️ they do have international language manga sections.
- Emil RomanosSeptember 22, 2014Interesting place, lots to see and if you are interested in the history of manga, you can learn a lot
- Jeffrie TrikaDecember 16, 2017Always great to come back ... at least half a day here, get a self Manga caricature done
- Mary RoyersAugust 1, 2013A lot of times there are craft booths set up for you to make things or to be drawn manga style by an artist.
- Alejandro RicoAugust 15, 2013A waste of time if you can't read Kanji! Avoid! Besides, it's not really a museum but more of a library. For a better Manga Museum experience, visit the Ghibli Studio in Tokyo.
- megOctober 16, 2014ミュージアム、とは言うものの、有料で貸し出しのない漫画図書館といった感じ。時間制限もないので読みたい漫画を好きな場所で読むことが出来る。本棚だらけで元が学校なので、廊下が入り組んでいたりで初めて行くと道に迷うかも。中庭は人工芝なので、黒いツブツブが衣服につく(払えば落ちるが割としつこい)ので気になる人は要注意。中の特設コーナーでミニ企画展のようなものも実施されている。
- 凛は 天才だにゃ〜January 11, 2015特に時間制限もないので天気のいい日に朝イチから行くとネカフェより安上がりなことも。冬以外は天気のいい日は外でゴロゴロしながら漫画を読むのが楽しい。京まふ(京都国際マンガ・アニメフェア)の会場として使われることも。
- Lilia MusinaSeptember 27, 2016мы попали под ливень и, раз уж я фанат манги, решили переждать его тут. Сам музей не большой, но интересный. Это скорее библиотека с мангой. Если вы фанат и знаете японский - вам сюда! :)
- てつこMarch 23, 2021京都市民なら毎日来ても飽きないと思う最高の空間。1日漫画読んで過ごせます。館内は元々小学校だったらしく歩くとギシギシいいます。今は鬼滅の刃、じゅじゅつかいせんが大人気で常に誰かが読んでいます。
- MymApril 18, 2016Muy curioso incluso para los neófitos del manga. Incluso una exposición sobre mazinger Z
- あ1X-31 おNovember 3, 2015Lastima que casi todo este en inglés pero obligatorio para el otaku de corazón
