The Museum of JGSDF Camp Zentsuji

The Museum of JGSDF Camp Zentsuji displays military vehicles, weapons, and personal equipment spanning decades of Japan's ground defense forces. The exhibition includes both large vehicles and smaller items that document the daily work and operations of soldiers.

The museum was established in 2006 and focuses on the history of Japan's ground defense forces since their founding in 1954. Its collection shows how equipment and tactics evolved over the decades.

The museum presents the development of Japanese defense strategies through educational programs, interactive displays, and comprehensive military equipment exhibitions.

The museum maintains regular operating hours and is accessible for visitors with different mobility needs. Guided tours in Japanese are available and help explain the technical details of the displayed equipment.

Visitors can use interactive simulators, including tank and helicopter controls, to experience operating military vehicles firsthand. These hands-on activities allow people to understand the complexity of military operations better.
