Nice and cozy small clocks and watches museum. You can spend time approx 30-60 min here. Enjoy seeing the many types of clocks and watches here.

Small but cute museum with some truly rare and interesting timepieces and clocks. Solid information on the development of clocks in Japan in both English and Japanese. Well worth the 30-60 minutes it takes to go through everything. Perfect if you have an extra hour to waste in Matsumoto. Tio: I recommend going at the top of the hour so you can hear all the different clocks ring which lasts about 10 minutes or so.

Interesting place to add to your Matsumoto itinerary. You could spend more or less an hour here before heading to Matsumoto Castle. You can see interesting clocks and most have English descriptions on them. I think all of the time pieces are still working. So you'll definitely learn something to your visit here

Didn't enter the museum. Nice looking big clock on top of the building. Worth to take a look.

We went there on a rainy day. It’s small but worth the fees. Worth a visit for those interested in clocks and watches. Almost all the exhibits are working and there are some truly interesting pieces with gramophone live session.
