Misawa Aviation & Science Museum

The three-story building houses 17 real military aircraft, including jets from Japan Self-Defense Forces and the US military, alongside scientific exhibits.

After its opening in August 2003, the museum acquired numerous aviation artifacts, including the first Japanese passenger aircraft YS-11 and restored Miss Veedol aircraft.

The museum promotes Japanese aerospace achievements through exhibits divided into aviation, science, and space zones, reflecting the nation's technological progress.

Located 15 minutes from Misawa Station, the museum charges 510 yen for adults, 300 yen for high school students, while younger visitors enter free.

The facility features a Zero Gravity 360 simulator that replicates astronaut training equipment, allowing visitors to experience weightlessness sensations.
