Yoseinomori Glass Museum — Attraction in Kagamino

We visited this museum March 29th and it was worth the trip. I became aware of Uranium glass a long time ago, but recently found this Museum on a random google and wikipedia search. It is a beautiful drive with many inviting onsens along the way. The museum staff were very welcoming and helpful. They made sure we had English translations. Being so excited for the museum, I brought my own UV lights. The staff also had a very cool UV pen for us to use during the exhibits. It was a clean and beautiful facility. They have a glass studio attached to the museum too. I think some days you can watch the creations. The museum is good sized and with beautiful historic pieces, as well as new creations you can purchase. I bought a beautiful large vase and it was wrapped and boxed with delicate care. Thank you! I think it would be wise to pair this with an onsen visit and maybe one other activity for the day. Please come see this museum because it is a very rare and beautiful treasure! Extraoridinary in the United States and even more of a treasure...

A great and unique experience! I have enjoyed the history of uranium glass for a long time and was pleased to find a museum in Japan. Just outside a hot spring village, there is plenty to do in the area and it was an enjoyable drive. The museum itself was a lot of fun with lots of works to see and interactive black lights to see the glass with. At the beginning we were given an English brochure with the history and information inside. We were disappointed we couldn't do the glass making experience due to covid but enjoyed the museum nonetheless. There were many beautiful pieces to purchase and I am thrilled to add them to...

ウランガラス？うちもよく分かって無くて行きました💦

パンフレットと口コミ見るとガラスの制作工程にウランをまぜこぜして作るとできるらしく、恐らく妖精の森以外ほとんど制作されておられない貴重な施設でした。

☆ウランは放射線物質ですが人体に影響がない微量ですのでまったくもって安全との事です！

駐車場も広く雰囲気いい建物で、中に入ると販売コーナがあり奥に受け付けがあります。 受付済ますとご丁寧な説明があり、紫外線照射のペンライト貸してもらえます。 これは販売コーナーのお品物に当てて見る用です。 館内はお写真🆗です。

館内は少し薄暗く紫外線に当たったウランガラスが見やすくなっています。 展示物によってはスイッチで色の変化を楽しめる物もあります。 展示見学は３０～４０分位で回れます。 制作工程もガラス越しに見ることができます。

ガラス細工制作コーナーもありそちらで作ったものはただ一つのガラス細工になるので作る価値あると思います。

お土産コーナーのガラス細工はかわいい物がたくさんあり目移りしちゃいます♡ 太陽光線でも反応して色が変わるので窓際に置くと素敵だなって思うお品物がありました。

うちは三朝温泉側から行きましたが途中ガソリンスタンドとかなくて残り少ない場合給油して行った方が安心です（残りひと目盛りでヒヤヒヤしちゃいました💦） 峠超えなので冬季はスタッドレスタイヤ等必要かと思います。

そこら辺では見れない貴重な施設ですので、興味のある方は、お近くに行く際は立寄...
