The museum was updated in 2015 is much bigger, brighter and more informative than it used to be. Although virtually everything is in Japanese, even if you don't speak the language I suspect you will get a feel for what happened in 1985 with the JAL flight JL123 crash. (For a more detailed visit & English, try to arrange a visit to the JAL Safety Promotion Center near Haneda Airport). A visit to Irei-no-Sono is recommended before travelling to the JL123 crash site itself, about 40 minutes drive away,
