Ishikawa Aviation Plaza, Aviation museum in Komatsu, Japan

Ishikawa Aviation Plaza is an aviation museum in Komatsu, Ishikawa Prefecture, opened on 27 November 1995 on the north side of Komatsu Airport. Its indoor and outdoor exhibits include an F-104J Starfighter, a T-33A, a Pilatus PC-6 Porter, a Dornier Do 28, an HSS-2B anti-submarine helicopter and a KM-2, and visitors can sit in some of the aircraft.

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 museum opened on 27 November 1995 and is run by Komatsu City through the Komatsu City Community Development Foundation, with Ishikawa Prefecture as the facility's establisher. Its second floor traces aircraft history and structure with scale models, and the children's area "Buun-Buun World" opened there in April 2012.

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 YS-11 simulator was actually used by All Nippon Airways, and the museum also has an air traffic control simulator; both are paid experiences. A VIP cabin from a Boeing 747 government aircraft retired in 2019 is displayed here, lent by the Ministry of Defense.
