Japan: Yokohama Cultural Interchange & Fujiko F Fujiko Museum – Doraemon

Yokohama Cultural Interchange

Our time in Yokohama brought us the incredible fortune of crossing paths with a beautiful family, whose kindness and hospitality exceeded all bounds. Over two fabulous days, we engaged in a Japanese-British-Colombian cultural exchange, sharing stories, playing games, laughing, and indulging in amazing homemade vegan food! The experience also included visits to great museums. I am deeply grateful to AI and his lovely family for creating unforgettable memories during our time together.

Fujiko F Fujio Museum – Doraemon

During this visit, we were graciously invited by AI and their young children. The afternoon unfolded amazingly, as we, along with mums and boys, immersed ourselves in a fabulous day of adventure stories featuring the famous cartoon Doraemon. It was a super fun afternoon filled with both joy and learning.

This museum is a tribute to the creative genius of Fujiko Fujio, showcasing original artworks, a reading room, and a theatre. At its core is the iconic character from her most famous manga series, Doraemon.

Who is Doraemon? It is a cartoon, viral and representative in Japan, created by Fujiko Fujio, about 50 years ago!. So much so that it has become a cultural icon and has even been adapted into an animated series.

The cartoons revolve around diverse characters, featuring a robot cat named Doraemon who travels from the 22nd century to assist a boy named Nobita Nobi. The cast also includes Nobita’s friend Shizuka and other secondary characters like Sueno and Takehi, contributing to the fantasy adventures. The exhibition is designed to captivate both adults and children with its engaging stories and adventures

The museum, situated in Kawasaki, a mere 25 km from Yokohama, opened its doors in 2011 with Doraemon as its central character. It is adorned with an abundance of books, sketches, original drawings, and numerous exhibits narrating the history of Fujiko Fujio and, of course, the adventures of Doraemon and Nobi.
