Megane Museum
Fukui accounts for more than 90% of domestic eyeglass frame production
Fukui Prefecture is a major center for eyewear production, accounting for over 90% of Japan’s domestic frame production. This showcase store features eyewear unique to the region. It also displays and sells purely domestic frames, as well as non-eyewear products made from materials such as titanium and plastic, and houses an eyewear workshop where you can create your own one-of-a-kind pair of glasses using a scroll saw.
