I did not expect the Pear museum to be this fantastic. The displays may seem old school, yet the content is really good. It explains how the 20th century Pear is invented. From improving the soil, how to grow, how to harvest and automatically scanned the sweetness of pearls to packaging, it demonstrates the jointed effort of Tottori prefecture farmers. I especially liked a display, showing the whole process of growing pears. When you pressed the button, it showed you pictures of production, a little camera will run around the model, showing different sections. You can also have a taste of different pears, and finally I ended up buying some souvenir home.
For tourists, you only pay 150 yen, as of October 29th 2025. regular price is 300 yen.

Foreigners show passports and receive 50% off on the entrance fee. In the pear kitchen present entrance receipt and sample 3 kinds of pears. My favorite is OUSYU.
The center of the museum is a giant pear tree, the showcase of the Tottori pear industry. Under careful cultivation, it’s more than 100 years old and said to produce thousands pears a year. What a marvel of agricultural technology!
JR and local bus service are not fully synced. We arrived kurayoshi station and realized no bus available within an hour. We took a taxi instead. The fare was 1550 yen. Just an FYI.
Make sure you come with some room in your stomach! The daily sample cup of three different types of pear is soooooo delicious. So was the pear ice cream.
This pear museum is so well maintained and very educational! Lots of really cute old technologies that explain the process of pear planting, selecting, harvesting, etc.
As foreigners, we got a 50% discount! Another pleasant surprise! Either way, it’s totally worth visiting!
