A Hands-On Museum Filled with Kagawa Wood and Traditional Crafts
About this spot
A hands-on museum with 'wood education' as its theme, located near the shopping arcade in central Takamatsu. The interior is filled with play areas generously using Kagawa-produced timber, and you can dive into a pool of polished wooden eggs, enveloping yourself in the comfort of wood's sound and scent. The museum also features many toys and spaces inspired by Kagawa's traditional crafts such as Sanuki kagari temari (decorative thread balls), barrels, and Bota weaving. It's a wonderful way to experience the region's traditional craftsmanship through play. Visitors of all ages, from babies to adults, can enjoy it, and toy curators are on hand to show you how to play. This is the most reliable spot in Takamatsu on a rainy day.
Tips
You'll remove your shoes inside the museum, so wear shoes that are easy to slip on and off and clean socks. On busy days, there may be entry limits or advance reservation requirements, so check the official website for the day's admission procedures. The museum is typically closed Thursdays.
Best time to visit
Approximately 2 hours. The early afternoon, right after the lunch rush, is relatively calm, and you can leisurely enjoy the wooden egg pool.
