About this spot

A garden museum on the north shore of Lake Kawaguchi recreating a medieval European townscape. Inside, you'll find the world's largest automatic organ among other rare mechanical instruments, with live music box concerts held multiple times daily—the powerful, enchanting sounds captivate children. The meticulously maintained rose gardens and fountains create a storybook-like world with Mount Fuji as a borrowed landscape backdrop. With numerous photo spots throughout the grounds and building, you'll want to capture plenty of family memories during this refined afternoon.
