About
Yamanashi had many crystal mines in the past. Even today, much jewelry is produced here using polishing and processing techniques handed down over the generations. Our museum opened in 1975 to showcase Yamanashi's jewelry industry and to teach a wide audience all about gems.

If you like gemstones, this is quite educational. Lots of well displayed exhibits. Otherwise can skip it.

The shop is open to all but the museum charges you an entry fee like all other places of attraction here. The layout is nice and interesting. But the gem museum at Pattaya, Thailand is a wonderful experience.

It’s worth visiting the museum if you are in the area. We were not planning to go, but there were many different kinds of small museums near lake Kawaguchi and they looked very cute so we decided to pick one and visit. It’s dark and mysterious inside. Different kinds of gems were all over in the small museum getting spotlights. If you love stones, this is a good place to enjoy and lean.
A variety of jewelry is sold in the store. When we were there, I saw a foreign person was negotiating with someone in the museum. I was impressed that buyers come to the place to buy gems!

If you are into crystals, this is a place to visit. Reasonable priced crystal accessaries and of good quality compared to other commercial places.
