JAXA Kamisaibara Space Guard Center

JAXA Kamisaibara Space Guard Center in Kagamino, Okayama uses radar observations to track near-Earth asteroids, nonfunctional satellites, rockets and orbital debris as part of Japan’s space-situational-awareness system. Its free public Exhibition Room explains Japan’s space development and space-debris tracking; public access is limited to that room. JAXA’s newest Japanese visitor page lists Exhibition Room hours 10:00–16:00, Wednesday/Thursday and year-end closures, and visitor contact +81-868-44-7358. JAXA also warns that visitor information can change, and its English page has shown different hours, so verify the live official guidance before travel. The official pages do not detail accessibility provisions; contact the center ahead if mobility support is needed. Visitor address: 1537-8 Kamisaibara, Kagamino-cho, Tomada-gun, Okayama 708-0601, Japan.
