# Misawa Aviation & Science Museum, Aomori

Three zones fill this Aomori museum: aviation, science and space. The aviation hall runs from early machines like the Narahara Type 2 and Miss Veedol to a YS-11 airliner and a HondaJet demonstrator. The science zone lists twenty hands-on exhibits, among them flight simulators, a wind coaster and a wind table. The space zone has Hayabusa2, a vacuum experiment, a digital globe and a lunar rover. A children's square, a cafe and a viewing deck are inside as well.

- Area: aomori

- Average stay: 150 min
- Hours: 9:00-17:00, last entry 16:30. Closed on Mondays (the next day when the Monday is a public holiday) and from 30 December to 1 January. There are also maintenance closures outside those days, so the opening calendar is the thing to check before setting out.
