Ishikawa Aviation Plaza

Ishikawa Aviation Plaza is an aviation museum located adjacent to Komatsu Airport with a collection of retired aircraft housed in a large hangar. The exhibits feature everything from small general aviation planes to military helicopters and fighter jets that visitors can examine up close.

The museum was established in 1995 and displays aircraft retired from military and civilian service in Japan. The collection reflects the development of aviation technology in the country during the second half of the 20th century.

The facility promotes aviation education through interactive displays, aircraft exhibits, and educational programs designed to inspire future aerospace professionals.

Plan time to walk around the hangar and examine the aircraft at your own pace. If you are interested in simulator experiences, ask staff about availability and any specific aircraft you would like to try.

The facility offers flight simulator experiences where visitors can pilot different aircraft types in realistic virtual environments. This hands-on opportunity sets it apart from typical aircraft museums and appeals to those curious about what flying actually involves.
