Toei Hero World was a popular indoor museum in Japan for Toei’s past and current tokusatsu characters. It originally opened in December 2013 and was located in Chiba, Japan.

On a news post on their website and Twitter account, Toei Hero World thanked fans:

Toei Hero World closed on Sunday, January 15, 2017. It was the last day of our three year business term. Thank you so much for visiting. We would like to express our gratitude to you all and thank you for your patronage.

    I will be going to Tokyo this summer with my son, and he’s a big fan of Kamen rider, too bad the museum is closed. Will there be anywhere else that we can meet some of the Kamen rider characters?
