I was wondering if there are space places in Japan (like museums or exhibits) that the public can visit? Are there people who have visited interesting space exhibits?

A stop at Tanegashima would probably be worthwhile. If not, there are JAXA facilities all over that appear to be open to the public.

I visited one of the JAXA offices. Not Takegashima unfortunately, but the JAXA office in the Maronouchi-area in Tokyo. They have a very small visitor center there where you can see models, get your picture taken in a spacesuit and some real H1 rocket engines.

I have to say the people there are very friendly (as almost all Japanese are) and they actually handed very expensive scale models to my four year old son so that I could take pictures. So actually there is not that much to see but still it is worth a visit.

The spacesuit looks very real and is an impressive sight.

Has anyone visited Tsukuba Space Center?

I have some spare time during an upcoming trip to Tokyo and thought it might be a nice stop. Any suggestions or pointers?

Any other space sights to check out in Tokyo? Thanks in advance.
