This multimedia museum displays manga artist Mizuki Shigeru's illustrations, artwork, and personal collection of masks and folklore paraphernalia. Audio guides (free) are available in English. The museum, unmissable for a stone eyeball rolling in water out front, is at the end of the 800m stretch of Mizuki Shigeru Road.
