A science museum themed around land, sea, and air vehicles, with over 2,000 vehicle models on display
This science museum, unique in Japan, focuses on land, sea, and air vehicles.
The second-floor exhibition room displays over 2,000 vehicle models, showcasing the evolution of vehicles from the past to the present.
The open-air atrium on the third and fourth floors houses "Vehicle City," Japan's largest transportation panorama, boasting a diameter of 20 meters. A wide variety of vehicles can be controlled with levers and buttons, making it extremely popular with children.
The first floor also features an actual Mazda RX500 on display, as well as a library where visitors can freely enjoy books and videos related to vehicles.
In the outdoor plaza, visitors can experience an atomic bomb-damaged train (Hiroshima Electric Railway 650 Series No. 654), as well as a "fun bicycle" and a "battery cart."
In addition, craft classes, film screenings, science shows, and other events are held, mainly on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. This is a fascinating facility where you can learn about vehicles and transportation while having fun.
