On December 14, 2019, the new Snoopy Museum finally opened in Minamimachida Granberry Park in Machida City, Tokyo.

We'll introduce the museum's highlights, recommended original goods, and more, along with photos.


In September 2018, the Roppongi museum in Tokyo sadly closed. Over a year later, the long-awaited Snoopy Museum has finally reopened.
It has returned to Minamimachida Granberry Park, now approximately twice the size of the original Roppongi museum.

This museum, located within Minamimachida Granberry Park, which now features a large shopping mall and park, allows you to spend the whole day relaxing. As the world's only official satellite of the Schulz Museum in California, the Snoopy Museum introduces the charms of the original comic "Peanuts" and Snoopy through a comprehensive permanent exhibition and special exhibitions, including original drawings being shown in Japan for the first time.

The new museum features new spots where you can enjoy taking photos while immersed in the world of "Peanuts," such as the "Snoopy Room" where you can take photos with a giant Snoopy, and the "Woodstock Room," an entirely yellow space. Workshops such as the one where you can make your own Snoopy, which were also popular in Roppongi, have also been enhanced.

Now, let's take a look at some of the highlights inside the museum!

An exhibition space where you can learn the creative secrets of Schulz

First, enter the room where an introductory video plays. The Peanuts characters roam the entire room, instantly immersing you in the world of the series.


Continuing on, you'll come across the Charles Schulz Gallery. Here, you'll see rare footage capturing Schulz creating his characters.
You'll also learn about the connection between Schulz's life and the Peanuts characters.

Familiar characters appear in the "Peanuts Gang Gallery"

The "Snoopy Room": A Dreamlike Space Featuring a Giant Snoopy

The second floor features a room filled with several large Snoopy sculptures, including a gigantic Snoopy measuring approximately 8 meters in length. This is one of the highlights of the new museum. The largest Snoopy in the center is snoozing on Linus' blanket. Surrounding it are other giant Snoopys in various poses.


It's a perfect photo spot, but if you look closely, you'll see that Snoopy and his friends have some slightly unusual expressions and poses. Some of the objects make you wonder if they're really Snoopy. In fact, these Snoopys are three-dimensional figures of rare poses that don't often appear in the comics.

Die-hard fans might have fun trying to guess which scene in the comics Snoopy appears in.
Apparently, there are images of Snoopy in the 1950s, Snoopy surprising Lucy on Halloween, Snoopy pretending to be a teddy bear, Snoopy skating, and Snoopy who has fallen asleep and come to eat Charlie Brown's ice cream!

The first special exhibition is "The Beagle Scouts Have Arrived!"

The special exhibition will feature precious original drawings on loan from the Schulz Museum. The first exhibition will be themed around the Beagle Scouts, a perfect fit for Minamimachida's rich natural environment. The story unfolds as Captain Snoopy leads Woodstock and his friends on a quest through the fields and mountains, interspersed with stories of their origins and humorous scenes of outdoor life.

The venue itself is designed to resemble mountains and slopes, in keeping with hiking.
The special exhibition will be changed every six months.

Yellow and fluffy!! The Woodstock Room

After passing through the special exhibition, you'll find the Woodstock Room, an entirely yellow space inspired by Woodstock.

Original short animations are screened, and you can also pick up and read books like "The Complete Peanuts Collection."
This is a relaxing space at the end of the exhibition.

The final treat, of course! Merchandise!!

Opening Commemorative Plush Toys (Snoopy ¥5,000, Woodstock ¥4,000)
The museum shop, "BROWN'S STORE," is filled with exclusive merchandise. They also offer collaborations with popular brands and familiar items.

The opening limited edition items are special versions of the original fluffy plush toys wearing red hoodies. They include Snoopy and Woodstock.

Fjällräven Kanken mini (14,000 yen)
Morinaga Milk Caramel (650 yen)


The store is designed to resemble the world of Charlie Brown, and features the kite that Charlie always gets caught in trees in the comics (available for sale), as well as Rus's psychoanalysis stand. The stand also sells original newspapers from the Snoopy Museum.

The cafe is now larger than the one in Roppongi.

The popular "PEANUTS Cafe" is located in the adjacent Annex (Park Life Building). In addition to a wide variety of menu items, they also offer dishes such as basket plates inspired by the Peanuts gang's "potluck picnic."

We also recommend bringing a takeout picnic box with a picnic blanket and enjoying lunch in the park right in front of the cafe. The cafe is accessible without a museum ticket.

There are also plenty of workshops where you can create your own original goods.

The new Snoopy Museum features a permanent workshop room. Various programs are held weekly, including making your own stuffed animal, candles, nerikiri (a traditional Japanese craft), and embroidery. Tickets tend to sell out quickly, so it's important to check early.

We've introduced the various highlights of the new Snoopy Museum. Why not visit the new Snoopy Museum, where you can enjoy the whole day?
