Kanazawa Ono Karakuri Museum is where I really wanted to visit.
It has famous wind-up dolls that serve tea.

I got so excited to see so many cog wheels... I love cog wheels ( or gears ).

I like their shapes and also like how they actually work.

The museum has hands-on activities and you can touch and turn the wheels.

Inside the main building.  Beautiful design that reminds us of Tsuzumi (hand drum)


There was a similar one in front of the Kanazawa station.
