CSTOYS, but Not Just Toys
The community behind CSTOYS
CSTOYS International operates from Ehime, Japan. Outside our regular work with tokusatsu toys, we are also involved in local media, education, agriculture, cultural activities, community projects, and international exchange.
Here, we will occasionally share stories from this other side of our activities—not as something separate from CSTOYS, but as part of the place, people, and experiences that shape who we are.
Culture
Culture & Craftsmanship
Regional traditions, local industries, craftsmanship, and the cultural background of Japan.
Education
Media & the Next Generation
Activities that help young people discover, document, and communicate the value of their region.
International
Exchange & Connections
Connecting local experiences in Japan with people and ideas from around the world.

Why This Belongs Here
Toys are part of a much larger story.
The toys we introduce come from stories, imagination, craftsmanship, technology, and communities. Through this page, we hope to occasionally share another side of Japan—the real people and local activities that continue beyond the world of entertainment.
