Kanazawa Gramophone Museum

The museum began as a gramophone store opened before the war by its first director, Hiroshi Yokaichiya, who wanted to contribute to local culture through music. The Kanazawa City took over the property and opened the current Kanazawa Gramophone Museum in July 2001. At the Gramophone Museum, you can actually see, listen to and learn about gramophones, and compare different gramophones three times a day (11:00, 14:00 and 16:00). Several times a month, they hold themed record listening sessions and events with invited guests.
