Hamanako Orgel Museum

The Hamanako Orgel Museum displays 70 mechanical musical instruments, including antique music boxes, automatic pianos, and fairground organs housed in a modern building.

Since its opening in July 1999, the museum has preserved musical instruments from the mid-19th century, including a collection of European mechanical music devices.

The museum introduces visitors to the Japanese term 'orgel' for music boxes through guided demonstrations and scheduled performances throughout the day.

Located 45 minutes by bus from JR Hamamatsu Station, the museum charges 820 yen for adults and offers combination tickets with the Kanzanji Ropeway.

Visitors can craft personal music boxes by selecting from 80 different melodies and assembling components in the museum's dedicated workshop space.
