Would you like to know more about Japan’s aerospace development?

The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC, is well-known among people interested in air and space. Called the Smithsonian Institution of Japan, the aerospace museum in Gifu provides visitors with an opportunity to learn about the development of Japanese aerospace technology and its current status. The first floor displays actual Japanese-made aircraft, and the second exhibits Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) as the elements of the International Space Station.
