Aviation Plaza

This aviation-themed museum is located on the north side of Komatsu Airport. Here, 17 aircraft from small planes to jet fighters are on display.

The history of aircraft, their mechanisms, and the principles of flight are explained in an easy-to-understand manner using models, videos, panels, and wind tunnels.

An aviation experience for both adults and children

Visitors can experience what it feels like to fly an actual YS-11 simulator and six types of simple flight simulators.

Real aircraft on display

The HSS-2B, a large helicopter with anti-submarine capability, and the KM-2, a training plane used by the Maritime Self-Defense Force, are on display outdoors.

Jet fighters and helicopters are displayed indoors.

F-104J Starfighter, a supersonic jet fighter used by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force
T-33A, a jet trainer aircraft used by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force
Pilatus PC-6, a multi-purpose light aircraft used by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition
T-2 Blue Impulse, a supersonic aircraft used for acrobatic flights

Children can also have fun!

Children can enjoy the children’s plaza “Bun Bun World,” Japan’s largest airplane-shaped playground equipment “Fly-On,” and cloud-shaped cushion playground equipment.

As a facility where you can see, hear, touch, and experience aviation, it is the perfect place for a family visit.
