Gifu-Kakamigahara Air and Space Museum
岐阜かかみがはら航空宇宙博物館
One of Japan's largest aerospace museums, displaying a restored Type 3 'Hien' fighter, real aircraft and space exhibits.
Kakamigahara is one of the birthplaces of Japan's aviation industry. This museum reopened in 2018 after an expansion, and displays about 40 real aircraft. These include a restored Type 3 fighter “Hien,” the domestic airliner YS-11, various Japan Self-Defense Forces aircraft, and in the space zone, a full-size model of the ISS “Kibo” module along with displays on the Hayabusa asteroid probe. Adult admission is about 1,000 yen. The museum is open roughly 10:00 to 17:00 and closed on the first Tuesday of each month. It is in Kakamigahara City, Gifu Prefecture, across the Kiso River, about a 15-minute drive from Inuyama.
