Travel JAL Cockpit Room

Japan Airlines offers aviation enthusiasts the opportunity to experience what it's like to fly a passenger plane by creating a hotel room replicating the cockpit of a Boeing 767-300. The JAL Cockpit Room, unveiled to guests at the Haneda Excel Hotel Tokyu last month, is situated on the fourth floor and provides a view of the runway at Haneda Airport. The room features two authentic pilot seats and a mock-up of a cockpit panel by the window, giving guests the impression of peering out from an airplane cockpit. JAL flight crew members contributed to the room's design to ensure a more authentic experience. A representative from JAL stated, "We want guests to experience something they can't in their everyday lives."

The room costs 35,300 JPY USD230) per night for two guests.

Previously, JAL collaborated on the "Wing Room" at the Tokyo Bay Tokyu Hotel, which recreates cabin seating on the airline's passenger jet. The room opened in 2022, and last year, the economy-class seats were upgraded to first-class seats. This is the first time the Haneda Excel Hotel will recreate a cockpit for a room. The instrument panels used by the pilots are recycled from discarded parts. Besides using the cockpit room to create new fans, the company is looking for other ways to bring people closer to airplanes. In 2021, a JAL subsidiary won approval from the government to manufacture and sell products at Haneda airport. One item for sale is bags made from onboard life vests.

I like it. If you had to stay overnight in Haneda... this would be the place. And 35,300 yen isn't expensive at all.

Now they just need to hook it up to Microsoft Flight Simulator or X-Plane so that you can fly the plane too!

Next to the local airport, Komatsu/KMQ, there's a fairly nice collection of planes and some other aviation-related stuff. It's worth a visit.

Besides the planes they have some simple simulators, but also what I think is an actual retired simulator--scroll down just a bit on the left:
