Music Box Museum & Shop in Otaru, Hokkaido

Otaru Music Box Museum is one of the largest museum shops of music boxes (Orgels) in the world.

 

The beautiful century-old building, designated as one of historic landmarks in Otaru City, is full of music boxes in various sizes and types.

 

Every fifteen minutes a large steam clock (at the left of this photo) will chime and a puff of smoke will be released.

 

Tourists flock around it to take pictures to record this moment.

 

Some more photos are here.
