Tokorozawa Aviation Memorial Park
Explore the place where Japanese aviation took flight.
This large park occupies the site of Japan’s first airfield, opened in 1911. The aviation museum introduces aircraft, flight simulators and large-screen films. Broad lawns, a Japanese garden and spring cherry blossoms make the grounds just as inviting.
