Tottori Nijisseiki Pear Museum Nashikkokan
This is the only museum in Japan dedicated to the Asian pear. Inside is a huge Nijisseiki pear tree whose branches extend outward some 20 meters. The museum also houses a collection of different varieties of pears from around the world and an area where you can taste and compare different pears throughout the year. The adjacent parlor serves up Asian pear soft-serve ice cream only found at Nashikkokan.
