Gaze up at real fighter jets lined up in the hangar to wrap up the day
About this spot
A popular public relations facility of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force offering free viewing of actual vintage and training aircraft. The sight of real aircraft lined up in the spacious hangar is breathtaking, and some displays let you sit in the cockpit—a dream for vehicle-loving children. Experience options abound: flight suit try-ons, simulators, and a large-screen theater. With indoor exhibits as the focus, you'll experience an impressive grand finale befitting a rainy day.
Tips
Both admission and parking are free. Note that closing time is around 4 p.m., so plan your afternoon schedule accordingly. Closed Mondays. Flight simulators operate on a first-come, first-served or lottery basis; find the experience reception desk upon entry. For thoroughly viewing everything, consider visiting on a separate day starting from morning. About 10 minutes by car from Unagi Pie Factory.
Best time to visit
Allow approximately 50 minutes. Closing is around 4 p.m., so budget afternoon time generously.
