i was told to visit this museum by a college kid in Kagoshima so I did and was not disappointed. The road to the town from the coast was a beautiful ride through tea fields and a random jungle. The grounds of the museum are well kept and make for a wonderful walk, gotta love the children in the wagons. The museum itself was wonderful. I rushed through it but spent a good amount of time reading the final letters the pilots wrote to their families, my mediocre Japanese skills proving enough to feel the emotion in them.

While there are a few places with English translation, the majority of the museum is in Japanese, so the ability to read Japanese will be very helpful. That being said, I was very surprised at how powerful the museum is. I definitely left with an appreciation and understanding of something I thought I knew a lot about.
Good quality museum which includes a good amount of English information. Costs 500 yen to enter but no photography is allowed. I suggest you get the audio guide for 200 yen and walk around with that. Then, walk around without it as it is a different experience
Powerful. It’s hard to grasp everything as not everything is translated in English. Mostly teenagers that had to go on their mission for the sake of war and country, knowing they will not have enough gas to come back. Their letters to their families and their portraits on the walls are enough to move you.
This is a very thoughtful museum which offers a lot of information about the pilots that served in WWII. Hundreds of photos of the pilots, their names, their birth prefectures, they look so young, fierce and patriotic. It’s only 500yen to enter, with a brochure in a few languages. Audio is available but I think you can understand enough from the exhibits. Best to drive here or catch a tour bus, very far from Kagoshima City but worth the trip.
