日本語、英語及びフランス語による投稿 Translation by google translation

【英語による表記】 It is doubtful that this museum will plan trips to Tanegashima for the purpose. However, on the other hand, if you visit Tanegashima for some other purpose, I recommend you go Well, I am rather science. I was satisfied with the contents of this exhibition. The structure of the rocket and the structure of the artificial satellite are exhibited The place I like is an exhibit that explains with an iron ball what kind of mechanism (theory) the artificial satellite turns around the earth. (Very modest exhibition) At that point, please do come when you visit Tanegashima for some reason

【日本語による表記】 この博物館が目的で、種子島旅行を計画する事は疑問です。 ただ、何らかの別の目的で種子島を訪れた場合は、逆に行かれる事をオススメします

さて、私はどちらかというと理系ですが、展示内容については満足しました。 ロケットの構造や人工衛星について展示してあります 個人的に好きなところは人工衛星がどの様な仕組み(理論)で地球の周りを回るのかを鉄球で説明する展示物です。 (非常に地味な展示)

そういう点では、何らかの理由で種子島に訪れられた時は是非行かれてください

【フランス語による表記】 Il est douteux que ce musée planifie des voyages à Tanegashima à cette fin. Cependant, d'un autre côté, si vous visitez Tanegashima à d'autres fins, je vous recommande d'aller Eh bien, je suis plutôt de la science. Je suis satisfait du contenu de cette exposition. La structure de la fusée et la structure du satellite artificiel sont exposées L'endroit que j'aime est une exposition qui explique avec une boule de fer quel genre de mécanisme (la théorie) le satellite artificiel tourne autour de la terre.

Visited 7/25 on a weekday.

Definitely the highlight of Tanegashima. We booked the 10:15 tour of the facility, which included the Rocket Garage, Launch Complex, and Control Room. Each location is an absolute engineering marvel to look at, and the transport buses were quite comfortable.

Also, you aren't allowed to take pictures or videos of the Launch Complex or the Control Room for obvious reasons.

We were handed English translated paper guides which made the tour easy to...

The staff are very kind, and the tour is generously conducted, free of charge, but... If you've seen anything like this in the US, then this place feels totally outdated, in desperate need for investment, lacking almost any interactivity. The tour itself definitely doesn't worth the trip to Tanegashima, unless it is good weather and you appreciate the nice seaside and the...

Small, but it's free admission and free guided tours at 10:30,13:00, 15:00. A faff trying to reserve a place on the tour via email. We turned up on the day in the morning and was able to join the 10:30 tour. We did have a guide who spoke some English. Public transport was difficult to decipher as there is a big bus and a small bus but the small bus does not run everyday.

If you like space and rockets definitely worth a visit, free entry also. They also have scheduled bus guided tour that can visit some areas that cannot be accessed publically but I strongly recommend that you reserve a spot if interested. when I went the entire day scheduled tour was already booked out. I would like to check out NASA facility too.
