Kawasaki Good Times World

Kawasaki Good Times World is the Kawasaki Heavy Industries corporate museum located inside the Kobe Maritime Museum at Meriken Park. It showcases Kawasaki products across land, sea and air with artifacts, models and company history.

The museum emphasizes hands-on learning: visitors can touch and ride selected motorcycles, enter a Series 0 Shinkansen front car, try interactive TECHNO-LAB exhibits and watch product films in the Kawasaki World Theater.

Start with a short introductory film in the Kawasaki World Theater, then move through themed zones covering motorcycles, trains, ships and aircraft.

• Bike Ride Area with rotating Kawasaki motorcycles available to touch or ride.

• TECHNO-LAB interactive displays and quizzes explaining technology and manufacturing.

• Flight simulator and exhibits on Kawasaki helicopters, ships and industrial machinery.
