Odaiba's most educational attraction focuses on the frontiers of science

Journey to Japan's national science museum, nicknamed "Miraikan," to learn about humanity's relationship to the universe and the cutting-edge technologies taking us into the future.

Tips

  • Two permanent exhibitions, “Quantum Computer Disco” and “The Universe: Unread Messages,” where visitors can enjoy experiencing cutting-edge research and development for the future, were launched in April 2025
  • Special limited-time exhibitions are geared towards both kids and adults, with past exhibitions showcasing the art of Disney, mammoths, life on the moon, and more

"Geo-Cosmos," the Miraikan Museum's most iconic exhibition, is a stunning three-dimensional rendition of Earth as it shines in outer space. It has a resolution that exceeds 10 million pixels. The model also displays images of clouds flowing across the screen that reflect current geographical data taken by satellites each day, allowing you to really get a sense of how Earth changes every day. At the Dome Theater, enjoy another three-dimensional video display, projected onto the Dome's roof, of "The Man from the 9 Dimensions," a work centered on the theme of "the theory of everything." Head over to the planetarium to enjoy another work, "Birthday - What Links the Universe and Me," featuring impressive 3D images that will make you feel just like you’re floating in outer space.

Miraikan is located in Odaiba, surrounded by abundant attractions and shopping, including indoor arcade and theme park Joypolis, DiverCity Tokyo Plaza, and Rainbow Bridge. Consider spending an entire afternoon and evening shopping, playing, and taking in the beautiful sights across Tokyo Bay.
