The history of Kawasaki Heavy Industries. Great museum with plenty to do and see. You start off in the maritime section, which is full of highly detailed model boats and their history. Then there's KHI's history, with hammers, fans and everything else made by Kawasaki through the years which was cool to see. There isn't too many bikes here, though insanely cool cutaways of the H2R & Z1 900 motor with pristine examples sitting on display. What they do have here is just insane. From there, it's an interactive section with a lot of simulators, models, planes, trains, jetskis and everything else Kawasaki makes. Cheap admission at 900¥ and a great little gift shop with Maritime related goods and a lot of Kawasaki merch.

Great little museum especially if you like ships. There's a nice sized deck/patio on the second floor that allows you to get a better view of the harbor area. There are two simulator games, as well, where you can drive a ship to six locations in the harbor or pretend you're a long shore man and test your skills at moving shipping containers from ship to shore. Right now, for an extra 300 yen, you can purchase a combo ticket that allows you to go up in the tower. The museum also has a small Kawasaki museum within it. It displays the history of things built by Kawasaki and a few of the items are on display.

It is an educational place for kids to spend about 2 hours, it is located by the harbor. Upon entering, you are greeted with a model of ship from yesteryears, surrounded by smaller models of ships with great importance. As you move along, you'll see the history of the Kawasaki Industry (from Kobe) including Shinkansen Model 0 to container ships to motorcycles. There are some arcade games involving riding bikes and jet skis as well as a train conductor simulator. Near the end of the exhibition is an automated robot assembling on command. I went for Miku Exhibition.

Really interesting museum! A lot of boat maquettes from different era and from a lot of countries! Really interesting learning the history of the Kobe port. There is also some sim machines to drive a boat inside Kobe's port! The second part of the Museum focused on Kawasaki is absolutely a must see. It is incredible to discover what has been achieved by the brand and all the fields where it's involved! Timeline of the brand's achievements and milestones and display of motorcycles, old motors, train parts, helicopter etc! Collectible stamps available!
