Narita Airport and Community Historical Museum, History museum in Iwayama, Japan
The museum documents the history of Narita Airport and displays photographs, objects, and documents showing its development from the 1960s onward. The collection covers both the airport's construction and its effects on the surrounding area.
Local residents mounted strong resistance that led to years of conflict with authorities over the airport's construction. The museum opened in 2011 and has since preserved materials documenting this struggle.
The exhibition halls show how farming communities in the area transformed after the airport's construction changed their daily lives. Visitors can see which traditions residents kept and which ones they left behind.
The building is located next to the Aviation Science Museum and is easy to find. Visitors should note that entry is free, but there are days when the facility is closed.
The museum holds original materials from the conflict, including incendiary bottles and wooden identification tags used by protesters. These objects show firsthand how intense the resistance was.
