What other travelers are saying about Kanazawa Phonograph Museum
Lovely place for vinyl enthusiasts. If you're lucky enough to join one of the guided demonstrations at 11:00, 14:00, or 16:00, you can hear different gramophones being played — a really special experience. There are also listening stations where you can enjoy vinyl records with headphones. A must-visit for anyone who loves classic audio.
This is a fantastic museum filled with so many interactive records. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, allowing you to experience the old beauty of the phonographs. I highly recommend this museum for its demonstration that happens three times per day at 11am, 2pm, and 4pm. It is offered in English and Japanese, the staff are knowledgeable and interesting. I didn't have an interest in vinyl before this museum, but it has inspired me! This place is best suited for small groups with an hour or two to enjoy it!
A wonderful museum of immense cultural value. Loved that you get to see, hear, and experience the exhibits. Kind and patient staff with clear passion for their work. The highlight was the live demonstration which I believe happens at 11am, 2pm, and 4pm daily.
