Photo Comment

Tokorozawa is known as the 'birthplace of Japanese aviation', being the location of the first powered flight in Japan. The railway station at Kokukoen was designed to look like a Henri Farman Biplane and easily reached from central Tokyo. The YS-11 is visible on leaving the station, across the forecourt, and is on permanent display.
