Warbird Information Exchange

I'm currently in Japan for a few weeks and am wondering if there are any good warbird sights to be seen around Tokyo?

Here's a list of Japanese survivors and locations.

Hello,

In the Tokyo area, the Yasukuni Shrine is the best place to see a restored Zero fighter Suisei ("Judy"), Ohka (replica, etc.). There are also numerous artifacts, etc.

The only Tokyo warbird is the cool twin-seat Zero fighter at the National Science Museum in Ueno.

Lastly, collector Nobuo Harada has several Zeros, a "Betty" tail, etc. at his Auto Museum (near Mt. Fuji) but you can only see them in August every summer.

Japanese people sadly just try to forget their veterans and war.

I have not gone out of my way to research Japan yet, but I do have a few locations noted...
