This is what the Yamaguchi Ube Airport looks like in 'Machijuu Evangelion Part 3' where the Eva Unit 01 statue is waiting for departure

As the name suggests, various things in Ube City are collaborating with EVA at the ``

Machiju Evangelion Part 3 '' being held in Ube City, Yamaguchi Prefecture from Friday, October 6, 2023. One of them is that Yamaguchi Ube Airport is decorated with Evangelion, so I went to see it.

The location of Yamaguchi Ube Airport is here. Buses run between Shin-Yamaguchi Station, Ube-Shinkawa Station, and Shimonoseki Station, and the nearest train station is Kusae Station on the JR Ube Line, which is about a 10-minute walk away.


Kusae Station platform.

Depending on the angle, you can see the control tower of Yamaguchi Ube Airport beyond the houses.

The station building looks like this.

There is a lot of information about Ube City right across from the station building.

As you walk down the gentle slope, you will soon see Yamaguchi Ube Airport.

The entrance to the building was decorated. The easternmost one is Asuka.

Shinji is in the center.

And the westernmost one is Ray.

At the entrance, Eva Unit 01 and the 4th Angel welcome you, saying, ``Come to Yamaguchi.''

Since it's Yamaguchi Prefecture, there are also blowfish.

Life-size figures of Rei, Asuka, and Kaworu were lined up at the Ube City information corner.

There are flags in front of the boarding counter.

And when I went up to the second floor, there was also a huge flag. By the way, you won't notice it if you get on the escalator right away, but Unit 01 is hidden in the stairs.

When you are on-site, use the AR camera function to take a picture of the explanation panel, and Misato will read out the explanation to you.

There is also an official Evangelion goods shop that sells collaboration goods.

Business hours are from 9:30 to 17:30.

Also, if you take the bus, it will take you right in front of the building, so if you have heavy luggage, it may be easier to take the bus than go to Kusae Station. It takes 10 minutes to get to Ube-Shinkawa Station on the JR train for 190 yen, and the bus takes 20 to 29 minutes and costs 310 yen depending on the route.
