    Chiba Pref. Sambugunshibayamamachi Iwayama 111-3
    The Museum of Aeronautical Sciences is the place to learn about the science of aviation and aviation technology. Museum visitors can enjoy the outdoor exhibition plaza, which displays Cessnas, helicopters, and other aircraft. The indoor portion of the museum contains exhibits of aviation-related art and serves as the site for pre-licensing seminars for aspiring aeronautical radio operators. The museum shop sells scale models of aircraft and a large selection of other aviation-related souvenirs and novelties.

    Big & spacious place to walk around to view the aeroplanes. I did not buy tickets to enter the building. I just hung around outside & walked around to peek into the aeroplanes.

    This museum is adjacent to the Suigo Sawara Ayame Park at the edge of Yodaura Bay. They have a permanent exhibition that teaches about the area including with themes of the nature and history of the Tone River and the Agriculture of Chiba Prefecture. There are many historical items related to water transport on the Tone River, such as a 1/5 scale takasebune model boat. Some exhibits showcase the history of this waterfront area with film and audio, and the museum's many small-scale displays are intriguing. There is also an aquarium and a pond on the premises where you can observe the flora and fauna of the Tone River. There are fun activities for kids, too, like feeding the carp in the pond.

    千葉県の博物館の支店的な存在です。佐原を中心にした、利根川周辺の歴史や風俗などぉ紹介しています。コンパクトながら、内容の濃い展示になっています。
