Kawaguchi-ko Music Forest

The museum exhibits European aristocratic music boxes and automatic instruments against the backdrop of Mount Fuji through a collection of mechanical masterworks.

The museum, founded by Ukai Corporation in September 1999, displays antique mechanical instruments that entertained European nobility during the pre-recording era.

The facility houses the largest dance organ in Japan, performing daily concerts in a hall decorated with European architectural elements.

The museum functions daily from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, offering guided tours, instrument demonstrations, and a restaurant with Mount Fuji views.

Visitors can participate in weekend workshops to construct their own music boxes using traditional mechanisms and decorative elements.
