Kawasaki Heavy Industries Gifu Works

Kawasaki Heavy Industries’ Gifu Works is an active Aerospace Systems site where Kawasaki manufactures, repairs and overhauls trainers, anti-submarine patrol aircraft, transport aircraft, fighters, helicopters, missiles, space systems and related equipment. Kawasaki also describes Gifu Works as a site where final products, including Ministry of Defense aircraft and BK117 helicopters, are designed, manufactured and flown; its wider aerospace portfolio includes P-1 patrol aircraft, C-2 transports, commercial-aircraft projects and space equipment. The official site lists the works at 1, Kawasaki-cho, Kakamigahara, Gifu 504-8710, Japan, five minutes from Meitetsu Mikakino Station. This is a controlled operating plant rather than a public museum; Kawasaki’s community materials describe escorted or school study tours, so arrange access directly. Visitor location: 1, Kawasaki-cho, Kakamigahara, Gifu 504-8710, Japan.
