Stepping into the Otaru Music Box Museum Main Building is like entering a giant, magical jewelry box. The museum is filled with all kinds of delicate and adorable music boxes, from cute, rounded egg-shaped designs and romantic, dreamy carousels to sparkling crystal music boxes. Each one makes you want to stop and admire it closely. With their intricate craftsmanship, different shapes, and melodies, they feel like fairy tales held in the palm of your hand.
The most special part is that you can also experience making a music box yourself. Choose your favorite melody from a dazzling selection of music, then pair it with decorations and a design you like to create your very own “portable treasure box.” When the melody begins to play, your wonderful travel memories gently flow out with the notes.
