Koshiro Toda Picture Book Museum Picture book museum with the theme of "coexistence with nature" Nestled in a quiet villa area in Atami City, the Koshiro Toda Picture Book Museum is based on the theme of "coexistence with nature," and Koshiro Toda, a well-known picture book author, designed everything from buildings to gardens to express the world view of picture books. There are many works on display, including original drawings of picture books that Mr. Toda has drawn so far, educational picture books, creative picture books, and picture books that have been adapted from masterpieces such as Osamu Dazai's "Run Melos". You can spend a relaxing time looking at the picture books on the lawn, enjoying the sounds of birds and the scenery of the four seasons. The attached café also offers spectacular views of the sea and mountains. It is a place where the nature of Atami and the thoughts of "Todakoshiro" have become one.
