From October 7th until December 11th, a special exhibition celebrating 60 years of Sanrio will be held at the Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art. More than 800 character products, original drawings and materials will be displayed, making it the largest scale event of its kind in Sanrio history. The exhibition is designed to help visitors learn about the company's development and the formation of Japan's kawaii culture that prevails to this day.
Adult admission on the day is priced at ¥1800, with advance tickets sold at a slight discount.
Getting there
The Kyoto City Kyocera Museum is located approximately 8 minutes on foot from Higashiyama Station, which is served by the Tozai Subway Line.
For those who plan to drive to the museum, it's located around 7 kilometers from the Meishin Expressway's Kyoto Higashi IC exit. There are paid parking lots nearby to the museum, but taking public transportation is recommended.
