Excellent museum. English friendly. For those who ate the ice cream with a sheet of gold and wonder how they can make such a thin sheet of gold, it definitely worth visiting. Expect from ½ hour to 2 hours of visit. If you like museums like I do, I recommend checking the city museum day/3 day pass. It was ¥830 (Dec2021) and I easily would had spent over ¥2000 without the pass. The museum is located near the Higashi Chaya district and easily accessible with the loop bus. The building itself is quite beautiful outside and inside. Most of the walls have Japanese only information, but you’ll find a folder with English translations. You can also watch an English version video explaining the process of making...

The museum was small but very informative. As a tourist who don't know japanese I could request a guided tour, and one of the museum staff took me around the exhibit and explained the different steps of how gold leafs are made and how they used to be made some hundred years ago. It was the first time I walked around a museum with a personal tour guide, and I was very happy at the end. Thank you so much for showing me around! After learning about how gold leafs are made there were beautiful artworks displayed, showing how they can be used. I very much recommend a visit if you...

It was pouring rain, in the cold of November, and we were trying to salvage the day. This was a great little stop to educate us about how gold leaf is traditionally made in Japan. There were many hands-on exhibits! Photos encouraged.

And, at the end, there was an art exhibit (photos prohibited).

Short and sweet museum. We took our time to wait out the rain, and maybe took 45 minutes to do everything. You might be able to finish it in 30 minutes. Still worth it since good is a huge party of Kanazawa's history, and very...

I am giving 5 stars even though it is quite small. It is a very well made exhibition where I could learn a lot and I enjoyed the interactive parts like the quiz where you drop the ball and it comes out at the right answer. Staff were nice and it was not crowded. They sell a few souvenirs too, even hand made postcard with gold leaf, for fair prices. Check out the bathroom for a cute surprise

Very cool, albeit small, museum that shows you how gold leaf is made. There’s also a rotating seasonal exhibition showing different works of art made with gold leaf. Additionally there’s a bunch of gold leaf shops nearby the museum that you can go to purchase gold leaf products from.
