Kawaguchiko Music Forest Museum

Kawaguchiko Music Forest is a one of a kind musical them park, designed with a “European Alps” atmosphere standing beneath a superb view of Mt. Fuji. It holds a world-class collection of automatic musical instruments, including the world's largest "dance organ and doll orchestra" and the Philharmonic Performance Orchestrion designed for the Titanic. Stroll through the seasonally themed, art, and rose gardens, or take in the scenery from the comfort of the restaurant-cafe and shops. With the price of admission, you can also enjoy various musical experiences throughout the day. Particularly interesting are the automatic instrument demonstrations, and one of a kind live performance of musicians and opera singers. Also, experience the sand art storytelling artists backed by live musicians. This park is for all ages, enjoyable in all seasons, rain or shine.

Interesting place , many automatic organ from 1890-1905 , still working fine. Staff is very kind and willing to explain. They have some scheduled events to show “concerts” of some very ancient and big “music box”. Interesting for kids above 8-10 years and for adults.

Reviewed By simon_and_emma69 - Workington, United Kingdom

Even if you only have a passing interest in trains (or even none at all!) this is well worth calling into if you're on your way to Fuji. The staff were all very helpful - enthusiastic even to help you get the most from the exhibitions. Great for all ages with some fascinating features - in particular don't miss the superconductivity demonstration with a puck travelling, essentially frictionless, around a looping track. We couldn't time it to be there when they were running tests (check the website for dates) but I expect that would be most impressive - they are aiming for 500km/h running speed. The test track itself will eventually become part of the first section of operational track, linking Tokyo to Nagoya and due to open 2027 - now that's long term planning! If you don't have your own transport then there's a bus that picks up and drops off at the Otsuki rail station.
