Gunze Museum

The story of people, textiles, and technological progress is presented in this museum in three parts: the History Storehouse, Fashion Storehouse and Innovation Storehouse. Adjacent to these are the Mulberry Garden, where mulberry trees from around the world grow, and the Gunze Memorial Hall showing the history of the company. Since 2010, the Ayabe Rose Garden is also open to the public thanks to cooperation from the citizens of Ayabe.
