KDDI MUSEUM offers free admission on August 5 and 19

Posted on 2023-08-14 by Editor in Chief

The KDDI MUSEUM opened at Tama Center in 2020. Although it is a little-known facility due to the fact that it opened with the Corona disaster, it is actually an interesting museum with a collection of valuable historical documents where visitors can learn about the history of telecommunications leading to today’s smartphones.

It is located at 3-5-3 LINK FOREST 2F, Tsurumaki, Tama City, Tokyo, a 10-minute walk from Tama Center Station. Admission is 300 yen (free for university students and younger), and museum tours must be reserved in advance.

The exhibition features the undersea telegraph cable that connected to the world in 1871, as well as other wired and wireless communication systems, and explains them using the latest technologies such as projection mapping and VR/AR in various places.

While the overall content is geared toward adults, there is also hands-on content for children to enjoy, such as challenging Morse code transmission in a “Taiko no Tatsujin”-like manner, or enjoying a game in which they can build base stations and grow a city using AR tablets.

Originally open only on weekdays, the museum will also be open on August 5 and 19 for the summer vacation. Admission is free on these two days, and you can visit without a reservation. However, if you make a reservation in advance, you will receive an assembled pull-back car of an on-board base station as a gift, so if you go to the trouble of making a reservation, you should visit the museum after making a reservation.

From August 5 to September 29, a special exhibition on “Disaster and Communications” will be held, and on August 19, various vehicles supporting communications will be assembled on the rotary in front of the facility. A disaster prevention class for fifth- and sixth-grade students and their parents will also be held.

The museum also houses the “KDDI ART GALLERY,” which exhibits paintings and other items that KDDI used to display in its reception rooms and other locations, and is also a must-see.

In the same building, there is an overnight training facility called “LINK FOREST,” which initially provided lodging services to companies with a focus on training, but now also accepts general lodging.

The guest rooms consist of 171 single rooms, 10 twin rooms, and 2 deluxe single rooms. In consideration of long-term stays for training, single rooms are spacious at 25m2, and a free laundry corner is available. Rates start at 9,000 yen for a single room and 14,000 yen for a twin room. Guests staying at the hotel will also receive free admission to the museum.

With Sanrio Puroland nearby and a variety of commercial facilities around the station, this may be a surprisingly good place to hole up.
