Discover a Japanese Internet-Famous Attraction: The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation
The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation is currently one of the best science museums in Japan. With a vast area, the building has 8 floors above ground and 2 floors underground, covering a total area of 8,881 square meters. The museum's philosophy is to share the "new knowledge" of the 21st century with everyone, and it is open to all. Here, visitors can find科普 about Earth's natural science, displays of the latest human technological civilization, and many exhibitions related to environmental protection. Just by understanding this philosophy, you can see how great a project it is. Unlike conventional museums, this one places great emphasis on visitor participation. Each exhibition hall has science communicators and volunteers who provide on-site explanations and engage in various interactive experiments with the audience, allowing visitors to experience cutting-edge technology firsthand while contemplating the meaning of technology and envisioning its future.
The permanent exhibition area consists of four main sections: "Earth Environment and Frontier Science," "Technological Innovation and the Future," "Information Technology and Society," and "Life Science and Humanity." Each exhibition hall has science communicators and volunteers giving on-site explanations. Children can interact with robots, listen to the future of the Earth's environment, learn about the human body, and explore the mechanisms of machines. The museum also has cafes, restaurants, and many rest areas.

The permanent exhibition halls of the museum are located on the 3rd and 4th floors. The overall feel of the exhibits in the halls is more suitable for primary and secondary school students to visit and experience. However, there are also some stunning exhibits, such as the suspended LED Earth. Around this Earth, there is a circular corridor where visitors can gradually climb up to enjoy a panoramic view of this huge electronic sphere. Moreover, this electronic sphere displays not only images of the Earth's surface but also other graphics, such as global climate and temperature changes, accompanied by an explainer's narration. Interested visitors can sit down and listen; there is a narration session every hour, each lasting 15 minutes. On weekends, there are many people, and some queuing activities may not have time to experience.
In the robot world exhibition area on the 3rd floor, visitors can see ASIMO, an intelligent robot developed by Honda that can not only walk but also run.
On the top floor, there are restaurants and holographic projections, which are highly recommended and a must-visit.
