Kawaguchiko Motor Museum/Kawaguchiko Zero Fighter Museum — Attraction in Narusawa

I'm of 2 minds about this place. I like that you can see various cars and fighter planes. But then again you really can't see them. There is a glass barrier that prevents you from going around any vehicle. I went there to see the Ferrari F-40 mostly but you can't even look at the dash or rear of it. You just need to look at it from the front. That's really it. And it is like that for all the cars. Also, for some reason you can't use any cameras other than cell phones. I think most of the people giving 5 star ratings are because of what was there to see, not because of the way it was presented. After a 3 hour commute up there, all I can say is it's for people to see the cars in a superficial way and that's what it's there for. It's not for people like me that want to see under the hood or what the dash looks like for example. Basically, I am disappointed but I recommend going to see what's there if you just want to see the front of vehicles. As a side note I recommend the Suzuki Jimny museum in Ayasa or the Isuzu museum in Shounandai. Both let you walk around the vehicles and don't care about the camera you hold. 2 stars but should be 5 if...

A museum that exhibits valuable Japanese military aircraft from World War II. ⚠️Please note: This museum is only open in August each year. Aircraft restoration work is being carried out by volunteers in months other than August. As for the aircrafts on display, all of them are really rare, and they are in excellent condition thanks to the efforts of the people involved. The original engine used by the Zero Fighter at that time is also on display. Public Transportation Access is about a 25-minute walk from the entrance of the Environmental Science Laboratory bus stop by bus from Kawaguchiko Station. I've been to aviation museums all over the world, but the exhibits here are unique. If you come to Yamanashi or around Tokyo in August and have time, I strongly recommend visiting...

今年は前回来た時に目を付けていたレンタサイクル店（プーさん、多分駅から一番近い店）で電動アシストママチャリを借りて来ました。 朝9時に借りて最大6時返却で2500円でした。タクシーだと片道3000位はするでしょうし、保険料込の値段だそうなので妥当な料金だと思います。

山なので当たり前ですが、道は平坦に見えて博物館に向かって長い登りで６〜７キロほどの道のりに50分位かかりました。 行きは加減してエコモードで登ろうとしたのですが余りの辛さにすぐ断念（ギア比を上げると登れるのですが速度が落ちるのでフラフラして車道を走るには怖いので重いギア比で登ってます）ほぼオートモードで、貸し出し時バッテリー充電90パーセントが残量70%程で着きました。

途中コンビニなど全く無いので涼むことも飲み物を買うことも出来無いのは前回来た時に見てたので、自転車を漕ぎ続けて汗だくに成る事を予測して着替えと水分は用意してました。

二年ぶりに見た博物館は、ピカピカに手入れされて一年に一ヶ月しか公開されて無いとは思え無い綺麗さで、今回も貴重な大東亜戦争当時の資料と美しいカーコレクションをお腹いっぱい堪能しました。

因みに、帰りは一度も漕がずに十数分かかったか、かから無いかで駅まで帰って来られました( ^ω^...
