Chibi Maruko-chan Land is a dedicated permanent exhibition space located within the S-Pulse Dream Plaza shopping complex in Shimizu Ward. It serves as an immersive recreation of the world depicted in Momoko Sakura’s long-running manga and anime series. Visitors can walk through detailed sets modeled after the main character's home, her school classroom, and iconic neighborhood street scenes. The facility features life-sized figures of the show's cast for interactive photo opportunities. Original character design sketches and production materials are displayed to illustrate the creation process. A specialized retail section sells exclusive merchandise unavailable at standard hobby shops. Interactive zones include stamps for collection and themed exhibits that change periodically to reflect specific seasonal episodes. The location pays tribute to the author, who was a lifelong native of the Shimizu area. It functions as both a museum of the franchise and an interactive play area for fans of all ages.
The life-sized character standees located in the school classroom set.
Bring a small notebook or your 'student handbook' to collect the various souvenir stamps located throughout the exhibit.
Check the official website before visiting to see if any character meet-and-greet events are scheduled.
Spend time exploring the rest of S-Pulse Dream Plaza afterward, as it offers significant views of Shimizu Port and Mount Fuji.
Do not treat the exhibits as a playground; despite the colorful aesthetic, the sets are for display and photography, not climbing or rough play.
