Akihabara in Tokyo is arguably the most popular destination for anime fans. But for those who enjoy reading manga more than anything else, then Kyoto International Manga Museum in Nakagyo Ward is your haven. With over 300,000 manga collections,  Kyoto International Manga Museum is more of a library rather than a museum since the visitors can freely roam around, chill, and read their favorite manga. The museum has a very large space indoor and outdoor, with 3 floors high, a basement, and a wide lawn. There are plenty of seats available inside the museum while outside is a big lawn where a lot of visitors lie down or sit down to enjoy the sunny weather.

In addition to its massive Japanese manga collection, the museum also features manga from international artists and some manga adaptations. On some days, the museum holds a drawing workshop for its visitors and other occasional events to entertain the visitors. The museum has a 900 yen admission fee excluding the exhibitions. The museum is also very kid-friendly. On the first floor, there is a children’s library, as well as periodic performances of kamishibai, a Japanese art form that involves large illustrations in storytelling.
