Silk Museum (Shiruku Hakubutsukan)

Silk Museum (Shiruku Hakubutsukan) Review

The museum, which pays tribute to the period at the turn of the 20th century when Japan's exports of silk were all shipped out of Yokohama, houses an extensive collection of silk fabrics and an informative exhibit on the silk-making process. People on staff are very happy to answer questions. In the same building, on the first floor, are the main offices of the Yokohama International Tourist Association and the Kanagawa Prefectural Tourist Association. The museum is at the northwestern end of the Yamashita Park promenade, on the second floor of the Silk Center Building.
