Miraikan: The Future Is Here

The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, simply known as the Miraikan, is a museum created by Japan's Science and Technology Agency. It was opened in 2001. It is situated in a purpose-built building in the Odaiba District of Tokyo.

In the video, I am visiting Miraikan, the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo, Japan. I explore various exhibits spread across multiple floors of the museum, focusing on emerging technologies and scientific innovations. The first floor introduces the museum, showing a ticket purchase and an overview of the building. I take an escalator to the next floor where I check descriptions of the different floors and their themes. I am excited about the exhibits and mention a gift shop. The second floor is described as a special floor not accessible to the public, while the third floor features a kids' zone and information stands. I explore the "Create Your Future" exhibit, which focuses on envisioning a prosperous future society and lifestyle with various displays and interactive elements. Notable exhibits include robots, a non-electric mechanical robot using springs for movement, and a simulation area for imagining future lifestyles. I am very impressed and move on to explore more floors, discovering a space habitation model and exhibits related to temperature and environmental changes.
