The Saga Balloon Festival Museum documents the 45-year history of the international event and contains the most comprehensive collection of balloon memorabilia in Asia — including full-size replica envelopes, competition navigation instruments, and meteorological equipment used by competition teams. The outdoor section includes a tethered balloon flight simulator that ascends 15 meters (weather permitting, daily 10:00–15:00).
