Sound Shower Museum, Music museum in Saikai, Japan

The Sound Shower Museum displays 160,000 records and audio items inside a former elementary school building surrounded by mountain forests in Osedo Town.

The building operated as Kuraki Kaitakushi Branch of Setsuura Elementary School from 1957 until 1976 before transforming into this specialized music museum.

The Gramophone Hall contains musical artifacts including hand-cranked gramophones, 1950s stereo equipment, and music scores from the Taisho period of Japan.

Adult admission costs 850 yen, with operating hours from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily, offering guided tours and wheelchair accessibility throughout three buildings.

Directional audio speakers create focused sound zones, allowing visitors to experience different audio content without interference when moving between exhibition areas.
