A really good little museum. As Kawasaki is one of the most important Japanese companies that existed through the Meiji restoration, World War 2 and up to the modern era, this museum is also a history of modern Japan itself. It's also very important to the port of Kobe where Kawasaki is a large company.
There is plenty to fascinate history buffs, those interested in engineering, and of course there are the motorbikes which are just cool by themselves :)
We were able to appreciate how Kawasaki has evolved through the years and how they shaped the technologies we have today. The museum is also interactive and very interesting.

We try to visit maritime museums whenever we are in a city/town that has one. We were pleased to learn the Kobe Maritime Museum is easy to get to, thanks to the hop-on-off City Lop Bus. Stop 16, Meriken Park.
The swirling white lattice of metal that surrounds the building outside represents the sea or perhaps sails. Either way, it's attractive. Dozens of intricate model ships are featured. A brochure tells you the museum is divided into two themes: 'The port of Kobe present and future', and 'The port of Kobe through History'. The sea, ships and port of yesterday, today and tomorrow are all recreated.
We saved a bit of money by paying 1,000 yen for a ticket that allowed entry into the Maritime Museum, Kawasaki Good Times Word - in the same building - and the Port Tower, metres away. Good value!
We spent about three hours in the area and recommend its attractions.
