MEGANE MUSEUM

Explore Japan’s Eyewear Culture at the Megane Museum in Sabae 👓

Sabae City in Fukui Prefecture is known as Japan’s leading producer of eyeglass frames — and the Megane Museum is the perfect place to discover its craftsmanship and history.

Here, visitors can learn about over 100 years of eyewear production, see beautifully crafted frames made in Sabae, and even try them on in the on-site shop. But the highlight is the hands-on experience! In the “Megane de Collage” workshop, you can create your own one-of-a-kind glasses-themed keychain using colorful frame parts. It’s fun, creative, and makes a perfect souvenir.

The museum is also home to exhibits on the history and technology of eyewear making, giving visitors a behind-the-scenes look into the process and passion behind every pair.

Whether you’re a fan of design, crafts, or Japanese culture, this is a unique spot worth visiting.
