Must to see the world's largest dancing organ
Many historical objects including the world's largest dancing organ which was designed for the Titanic
Discover mechanical music at the Kawaguchiko Music Forest Museum. The exhibits take you on a historical experience of music boxes and features incredible historical objects including the world's largest dancing organ and "The Orchestrion" which was designed for the Titanic.
Quite an unusual gathering of mostly European instruments and music boxes in the middle of the scenic Mount Fuji region. The buildings are designed following German and Swiss style castles, which contrasts with the very solemn ambiance of the place.
Gardens surround the place, which in turn has been built by a lake, giving the place a very serene and quiet atmosphere. While concerts are popular among locals, you might want to attend to the sand painting demonstration which is for us the highlight of the visit.
If you happen to gather all seven stickers collected from seven employees found at different locations of the park, you will get a nice free gift. But if you would simply enjoy the view, why not head to the café and restaurant and have a lovely seating staring at the majestic mountain.
