The music box in the store sounds and is very beautiful and can be enjoyed! I think it's fun just to look at music boxes for people who don't plan to buy them. There are many different kinds of music boxes and they are very beautiful.
On the 2nd and 3rd floors, there are goods other than anime characters and music boxes for sale, and it's fun to stroll around the store.

It's located on Sakaimachi Street.
The three-story building is packed with music boxes on display.
I was reminded of the old days when there was no hold music on landlines, when you would place the receiver on a music box and listen to the sound.

Hello♩
This is Kin Kenshu!
I recently went on a whirlwind trip to Hokkaido with a friend...
This time our destination was Otaru. We walked around the town in the snow and ate our fill of seafood bowls!
Then we stopped off at Otaru Music Box Shop, Japan's largest music box specialty store♩
It reminded me of the sounds I heard as a child, and the moments of family time spent listening to music boxes!
If you go to Otaru, be sure to stop by☺

The place is definitely worth a visit, they have an amazing collection of music boxes! We spent almost an hour and half here admiring the music boxes. But they don't come cheap, I got myself a flowery music box completely made of marble. Good place to get exquisite and pricey souvenirs :D and I regretted not buying a few more :(

It's nice to see and ideally learn a bit about the manufacturing of the music boxes, but essentially this is one big shopping hall full of music boxes for the masses littered with Chinese tour groups. Not really a museum, more like one huge gift shop.

Beautiful place, delicate designs of the music boxes. A bit pricey but the designs are really special and well made.

We were looking for music boxes as gift, and was recommended by hotel staff to look no further than here. We had to thank her. Not only we got what we were looking for, we had a great time wondering inside this amazing building. There are so many musical boxes, in difference designs, size and forms. Some can have your favour music chosen and boxed up to your liking. On the upper floor where the museum is, we were amazed by the different types of musical boxes collected and on exhibit, ranging from as small as match box to as big as piano. You can easily spend up to 2 hours or more here if you like these boxes, and try listening to their tune.

I visited this place with my family 4 years ago during a vacation trip to Hokkaido, and it sticks in my memory ever since. The place is official known as a "museum" of music boxes, while in fact it's more of a craft house and a shop showcasing over hundred various designs of music box. You can find almost every design on Earth mankind can imagine music boxes could be made, from classic "box" designs to conventional (some pleasantly creative, some weird in a cute way) ones. If you go to Otaru and are on a quest for some souvenirs, be them for yourself or others, this place could get some bucks out of your wallet (and, I would say, they're worth it!). If you enjoy taking photos, this place would surely satiate your enjoyment. It might not be the best place to represent Otaru or Hokkaido, but Otaru Orgel Museum is a place worth visiting should you have some time (and money) to spare, and I for one recommend you pay it a visit.

I don't think you can. If yes, it must be very expensive, the melodies in the music box is quite simple, it contain with just 5-8 melodies, for more complicated music is unbelievable expensive.
