Even adults will be able to experience cutting-edge technology that will excite them.
Three themes covered in the permanent exhibition
Miraikan's permanent exhibition has three themes, which visitors can view in order of their preference. "Connecting with the Earth "traverses from the 1st to 5th floors, offering various perspectives on the earth we take for granted. "Creating the Future "is located on the 3rd floor, where visitors can learn about the wisdom of mankind in the form of robots, information and communications, and other crystals. On the 5th floor, "Exploring the World "covers a wide range of topics from the vastness of space to the cells that make up the human body. The fifth floor covers a wide range of topics from the vastness of the universe to the cells that make up our bodies. You will be reminded of the scale of the world.
