Kyoto International Manga Museum

A former elementary school converted into a museum holding around 300,000 manga volumes, including a 200-metre "Wall of Manga" that visitors can pull books straight off and read on the spot, plus rotating exhibitions on manga history and artists.

Open 10:00–17:00 (last admission 16:30); closed Wednesdays, though it stays open if Wednesday is a national holiday and closes the following day instead. Admission is roughly ¥900–1,200 depending on age. Most of the manga is in Japanese, but the building and exhibits are approachable even without reading it.
