Yamanashi Jewellery Museum
Factory visitsKofu and suburbsView Images
Located in Kofu City, in the heart of Yamanashi Prefecture, this museum is the pride of Yamanashi Prefecture's jewellery.
The museum exhibits a fascinating and diverse range of pieces made by craftsmen active in Yamanashi Prefecture.
The museum also displays the process of completing a piece of jewellery and the tools used to make it, so visitors can learn about jewellery in an easy-to-understand way.
This is a facility where visitors can experience something they rarely get to see up close, such as the process of making jewellery.
You can see craftsmen actually making the jewellery in the 'demonstration workshop', and there is also a 'hands-on programme' where you can actually try it out, so you can learn about jewellery while having fun.ADDRESS Postal code 400-0031
