Definitely worth visiting and making use of the tour guide. A huge piece of history, well explained and quite astonishing! Parking is a bit difficult if coming by car but the area offers restaurants etc as well. Thanks for an amazing trip and time travel!!

Attraction: Nice place to visit on your way to your destination. Many buildings are closed, so you can only see them from the outside. There are two rather large buildings that you can walk through one has a second story with a few exhibits you can read about. There's not that much walking since the museum is quite small. Fees: We paid $1,000 yen per person, but there are discounted rates for children. Food: There are several places for small snacks and light meals outside of the museum. We didn't try any of them and so can't recommend. Parking: There's no parking specific to the museum but there are small parking lots spread around town at the entry. Going rate is $500 yen for a full day.

We dropped by Tomioka silk mill after camping just for a fun. It was amazing experience to see the process of making silk and historical house constructed before the war. Especially we are interested in the lifestyle of staff and trainers. We could see the furniture and documents. Highly recommend.

It is a unique place and worthy to visit with children. you can get good knowledge about the whole process of silk production by silkworms. before 150 years ago, the technology they had was amazing.
