The Yamanashi Prefectural Maglev Exhibition Center in Tsuru is closed today, Monday, September 14. The prefectural facility has also published an expanded autumn calendar that adds selected special opening days and a long daily-opening period later in the season.
Key Facts For Travelers
September Dates To Avoid Or Use
The official autumn notice lists September 14 and September 28 as closure days. September 24 is an added opening day, which can be useful for visitors building a midweek itinerary between the Fuji Five Lakes and Otsuki or central Yamanashi.
From September 29 through November 29, the center plans to open daily. Calendar arrangements can still change, so confirm the color-coded official calendar before making a special journey.
What Visitors Can See
The Doki-Doki Linear-kan explains superconducting maglev technology through a full-size test vehicle and hands-on displays. The adjacent Waku-Waku Yamanashi-kan has free admission and includes tourism information, but neither building should be assumed open on a listed closure day.
Test runs are not guaranteed on every opening day. The center posts the following week’s expected test days on Friday evenings and warns that schedules may change or be cancelled without notice.
Hours, Prices, And Parking
Regular opening hours are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with final admission to the paid museum at 4:30 PM. Current individual admission to Doki-Doki Linear-kan is JPY 420 for adults and university students, JPY 310 for high-school students, and JPY 200 for elementary and junior-high students; preschool children are free.
The facility lists free parking for 140 ordinary vehicles and 15 accessible spaces. Drivers should still check the official access page, while public-transport visitors should verify the local bus timetable before departure.
Traveler Actions
