Below, eight cadets shared a cabin, and their bunks measure 185 by 65 centimetres. In the officers' saloon the table and chairs are bolted to the floor, because the ship leaned under sail. The wheel sits right at the stern, so the helmsman could watch the sails while steering. Volunteer guides are on hand every day, and you only have to ask. - Area: kanagawa_yokohama - Type: sightseeing - Average stay: 120 min - Hours: 10:00-17:00, last admission 16:30; on days the sails are set the doors open at 9:30. Closed Mondays (open if it is a public holiday, closing the next weekday), 28 December 2026 to 4 January 2027, and 28 January to 4 February 2027 for maintenance. The ship alone closes for longer stretches that the museum does not: 28-29 November 2026 to take the sails off (spare dates 5-6 December) and 28 January to 1 March 2027 for hull work (spare dates 6-7 March). - Last verified: 2026-08-15 ## Family facts (value + conditions + source + verified date) | Feature | Value | Conditions | Verified | Source | |---|---|---|---|---| | Stroller friendly | Yes | The museum has ramps and a lift and can be visited with a stroller; three strollers are lent at the information desk.
