Sit in the cockpit! Why not come and visit the revitalized JAL Factory Tour - SKY MUSEUM?

A display of uniforms from the past and model planes. JAL's archives of 70 years and its future endeavors.

A row of flight attendant uniforms from the past are lined up. These include the latest design (2020), which also allows the option of a pants style, the Rizocca uniform (1994) with a blouse featuring hibiscus and tropical birds, and a rare uniform for Hong Kong line crew (1969).

Furthermore, the uniforms of Japan Air System are also on display, allowing visitors to see the changes in uniforms over the past 70 years. The uniforms were on display before the renovation, but now the backs are made of glass.

Behind the uniform display, model planes from JAL's history are lined up in the order they were introduced. Spotlights allow you to see the aircraft's silhouette. From nostalgic aircraft such as the first domestically produced passenger plane, the YS-11, and the double-decker jumbo jet Boeing 747, to the latest Airbus A350, the exhibition also shows the evolution of technology.

In addition, the digital archives allow you to see JAL's initiatives from each era, nostalgic commercials, in-flight meals, and more.

However, looking back at the past is not the only enjoyable part of the JAL Sky Museum. In the Future Zone, JAL's future initiatives, space, food, technology and other projects are projected onto a giant panel screen. You can operate the display on the signage wall with a touch panel, making for an interactive learning experience. Experience the dynamic exhibitions that make full use of digital technology.

A tour of the hangar where you can see actual aircraft maintenance

In addition, there is another attraction that can only be found at the JAL Sky Museum, which is attached to the maintenance facility. That is the hangar where airplanes are actually maintained. After passing through the floor with "HANGAR" written in large letters, the automatic doors open and you will find a deck exclusively for customers.

This is the M1 Hangar. It can store up to four aircraft and you can watch the maintenance staff actually maintaining them. If you're lucky, you might see a specially painted aircraft. You can also put on a helmet and go down the stairs to the M2 Hangar.

On display there is the nose of the Fuji (Douglas DC-8), Japan's first jet passenger aircraft, which JAL sent to San Francisco in 1960.

For customers using the domestic tour "Airfare + Accommodation", the optional plan "FUJI Special" will be on sale from Wednesday, April 27, 2022. You can see inside the FUJI.

The Japanese-style interior was a hot topic at the time, with Nishijin-ori seat covers and shoji screens on the windows. There are also some rare in-flight amenities, such as six lounge seats exclusively for first class passengers.

In addition to digital content, we are also considering various experience-based projects in light of the efforts to ensure safety and security during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is located near the airport and has excellent transportation access. Reservations are required, but tours are free. You can visit the museum on your days off with family and friends, or during transit between domestic and international flights.
