Fodor's Expert Review Japanese Wax Museum and Kamihaga Residence
Uchiko
Fodor's Choice
The former residence of the Kamihaga family, which established the city's wax industry, is now a well-maintained museum. Exhibits here explain the rise and fall of this once-thriving industry. Comprehensive English signage and hands-on exhibits teach you more than you thought there was to know about the changing fortunes of this wax town.
