The museum offers a variety of hands-on attractions that can be enjoyed by children and adults:

Motorcycle Gallery

This zone offers Kawasaki’s most iconic bikes and some of them are available to be touched and sat on, as well as the riding simulator “RidEX” where you can experience the thrill of speeding around a circuit.

Land Zone

Visitors can go inside an actual first car of the Series 0 Shinkansen and explore the passenger area and the cab. They can also operate the HO scale railroad diorama.

Sea Zone

Enjoy a personal watercraft game in this zone.

Air Zone

Go aboard an actual Kawasaki-Vertol KV-107II helicopter to explore the cabin area and cockpit. Visitors can also experience what it is like to be a pilot taking off from Kobe Airport, using a flight simulator.

Advance booking is not possible, and the attractions are offered on a first-come-first-served basis.
The flight simulator in the Air Zone and the RidEX in the Motorcycle Gallery can be booked by speaking to the staff in the respective zones, who will then inform you of the time the attraction will be ready for you.
