National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan)

The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, commonly known as Miraikan, opened in Odaiba, Tokyo, in 2001. It is operated by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and was established as a place to understand science and technology as a culture and to think about future possibilities. In addition to exhibitions, a variety of programs such as talk sessions and workshops are offered.

The museum consists of three zones: "Exploring the World," "Creating the Future," and "Connections," where visitors can experience cutting-edge science and technology up close. In particular, "Geo-Cosmos" allows you to observe the Earth in over 10 million pixels of high resolution, and you can also enjoy a life-size model of the manned submersible "Shinkai 6500" and demonstrations of the robot "ASIMO."

The audiovisual theater features the Dome Theatre Gaia, which combines full-dome visuals with a planetarium, and a VR theater where you can experience virtual spaces. Through these facilities, the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation stimulates interest across all fields of science and technology, from everyday questions to the latest technologies, the global environment, and the exploration of space. Miraikan is a wonderful place to share the role of science and technology in society and the possibilities for the future.
