Experience Music Box Melodies and Lake Hamana's Grand Panorama at the Mountaintop Museum
About this spot
A museum of antique music boxes and automatic musical instruments housed atop Ōgusayama mountain. The hall showcases a remarkable collection of precious music boxes and automatic instruments from the 19th and 20th centuries. During live performances, which are held regularly, both children and adults are captivated by the rich, authentic tones. From the rooftop observation deck, a breathtaking vista unfolds with Lake Hamana stretching all around, and the carillon bells ringing on the hour add a magical touch to the journey. The museum also offers a hands-on experience to craft your own music box, perfect as a travel memento.
Tips
A combination ticket with the ropeway round trip offers good value. Live performances are held at scheduled times, so check the schedule upon entry to tour efficiently. The music box crafting experience requires advance booking and time; plan accordingly. The museum is accessible with a stroller.
Best time to visit
Plan for about 1 hour. Timing your entry to coincide with a live performance is recommended.
