Rich history in this quaint little museum. We can still see the old traditional looms being used to create the silk. The gift shop has some of locally spun products available for purchase as well.

Really interesting. They had a handout of English translations for their displays which was really useful.

Interesting little museum of silk manufacturing. Not much for non - Japanese speakers, I think. All the signs are in Japanese and unless they have a staff member who speaks English, you may struggle to figure out what is the purpose of each piece of equipment. But still interesting.

The grandpa is very patient to demonstrate how to dye the handkerchief.. small and cosy place to see the hand weaving..

This museum is worth visiting. Staff is friendly and the place is classic.
