Very interesting museum with airplanes from WWII. The museum and the park are free of charge for visitors. Dogs are not allowed in the park and the museum. We needed to wait for a while, in order to get inside, as they did kind of slots with half an hour break in between in order to regulate the visitor numbers during covid 19. Very sad to see all the pictures from the young Kamikaze pilots who lost their lives due to the order of some mad high rank officers. Nevertheless, I feel it is good to show this here as well to not forget those kids!

Wasnt intending to stop in here but it surely was worth it and its completely free of charge. The planes on display are amazing to look at even if you arent an enthusiast. The two floor musuem is also very interesting and worth having a quick look at. To note is that the musuem seems to open and shut several times during the day so you may want to check in advance. The planes on display outside seem to open throughout the day.

An informative and interesting museum about the history of this air base, air force, fighter planes, the associated wars and the society during those periods. It includes a memorial hall of the kamikaze pilots and their relics with a brief history of kamikaze. A good place to learn about the history of Japanese air force and the wars. We spent 3.5 hours there. Free admission. No reservation required.

Admission to this museum is free. However, you need to apply for viewing by fax or phone in advance. Many aircraft are on display outside the facility. Anyone can freely view and take pictures here. Photography was prohibited inside the facility. The only photo shoot was the Zero Fighter. Valuable past war materials are very substantial. Worth a must-see for everyone. I highly recommend it.

Large and costs impressive free museum which tells the story of the Japanese navy air force. There is also a large section on kamikaze pilots where no photography is allowed. Many faces of the pilots hang on the wall which gives a chilling feeling

知覧と鹿屋の違い 知覧は陸軍基地であった、そして知覧平和会館は知覧町(現:南九州市)が建てたもの、鹿屋は海軍基地であったそして海上自衛隊が建てたものである。 では具体的に展示内容はどうかと言うと知覧は特攻に行った若者を悼む為に、そして平和を願う為のもの。鹿屋は特攻にも重きを置いているが、日清・日露戦争から太平洋戦争を経て現代に至るまでの海軍、海軍航空隊の歴史を展示しています。もちろん日本と世界の平和を守り願う為です。 海軍だけがカミカゼで、陸軍はカミカゼとは言わず単に特攻と言います。 そして知覧の展示物のほうが涙を誘うのは、特に母親に宛てた手紙などが多く展示されて、鹿屋の海軍ではより規律が厳しくそう言ったものが戒められ、特攻隊員の勇ましい気持ちを書いたものが多いからと思われます。もちろん勇ましいのもだけではありません。 どちらにも顔写真が並べられていますが、陸軍、海軍別なのでおそらく同じものはないのではと思います。 一人一人の顔をゆっくり見てあげたい気持ちです。 鹿屋ではならではの展示でいろいろ分かった事も多かったです。特攻に行った若者たちの笑顔のアルバムなどもあり、救われるような気持ちでした。展示物の多くは撮影禁止でここに来ないと見られません。現物を見なくてももっと多くの人たちが戦争と平和について考えられるように出来たら良いと思いました。 少しでも長い時間、少しでも多くの地域に平和が訪れる事を願わずにはいられません。隣国同士、疑心暗鬼で軍備拡張競争することはなんとしてもやめるべき事だが、戦争の無かった時代は無かったし、これからも続くのだろう。悲しい事だ。 日本国民として自衛隊には感謝しています。
