During the photo walk in Yokohama, we just happened to pass this museum. The museum's name was funny interesting enough to pick our interest.








In the entrance lobby, there were lots of miniature of building and people from around the world.




Yummy looking plastic sushi and oden.








The museum introduces the history of immigrants with artifacts, photographs, videos, documents, and maps from that date.


It's probably not the kind of museum that you would like to visit. Nevertheless, it's still a good one.
