The Museum of the Future is one that my kids and I like to visit. It is a hands on science center that opened in 2001. There are exhibits on space exploration, robots and technology, the environment and the human body. There is also an interactive display on how the Internet works. Very cool!
There are all sorts of futuristic ideas – this car is not only electric but it has eight wheels! That could make parking in Japan a little tricky – but why not!
The Kaz - The Electric Limo
One of the most popular items in the Miraikan is Asimo. A walking, talking, running robot. Asimo stands for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility.
Honda's creation - a humanoid
Despite all the futuristic technology on display, however, the kids still loved these fundamental science exhibits with the body pieces. Future surgeons??? Pushy mum!
Check this out!
Or maybe brain surgeons? Miraikan is a great day out for the family.

I have lived and worked in Japan for the past twenty five years off and on. I have seen many changes and enjoyed the various paradoxes and anomalies of everyday Japanese living.
