Its cases hold spectacles from the Edo period through the Showa era, frame-making tools from the Taisho era, and a collection of celebrities' glasses. Photographs are fine; touching the exhibits is not. The making sessions happen in the upstairs workshop, and stairs are the only way up. Sign in and pay at the shop downstairs first. The workshop admits children from school year one, since the glue is a solvent. - Area: fukui - Type: sightseeing - Average stay: 60 min - Hours: Everything opens at 10:00, but the building closes in four stages: the Megane Shop at 19:00, the workshop, the Megane Museum and Sabae Sweets at 17:00, and the Museum Cafe at 16:00.

From Fukui station it is about fifteen minutes by train, from Tsuruga about thirty-five. By car it is roughly two minutes from the Sabae interchange, and some car navigation systems list the place as Megane Kaikan rather than by its museum name. Nothing is stated about parking. Inside, the shop, museum and sweets counter are all on the ground floor; the workshop and cafe on the first floor are reached only by stairs. | 2026-08-16 (web) | [source](https://www.megane.gr.jp/museum/access) | ## How to cite these facts Free to reuse.
