めがねミュージアム

The Megane Museum presents displays of eyeglass frames, manufacturing techniques, and historical collections spanning from the Edo period through modern times.

The eyewear industry in Sabae started during the Meiji Period when Masunaga Gozaemon brought an eyeglass maker from Osaka to teach local farmers.

The museum reflects Sabae's position as Japan's primary eyewear manufacturing center, producing 95 percent of the country's eyeglass frames.

Visitors can participate in workshops to create personal eyeglass frames by selecting materials, colors, and shapes through a guided manufacturing process.

The museum shop displays over 3,000 frames from 50 regional manufacturers, offering direct access to Fukui Prefecture's eyewear productions.
