[Tokyo/Ueno] The National Museum of Nature and Science with Full Volume

The "National Museum of Nature and Science" located in Ueno Park, Tokyo, is Japan's proud "treasure trove of knowledge about science and nature."
Founded in 1877, it has a long history and is loved as a popular spot where people of all ages, from children to adults, can enjoy themselves all day long.

The biggest attraction is undoubtedly the variety and impressive scale of the exhibits.
You can intuitively experience the "joy of learning" about science and natural science through dinosaur skeleton specimens, real animal taxidermy, interactive exhibits about space and the Earth's environment, historical scientific instruments, minerals, and more.
Especially, the life-sized "Blue Whale Specimen" towering in the Earth Hall and the "Futabasaurus" soaring through the air are must-see exhibits that offer an overwhelming sense of scale 🐳.

Additionally, broad themes such as evolution and the mystery of life, the natural history of the Japanese archipelago, and the progress of humanity are presented in an easy-to-understand way, sometimes incorporating interactive displays, so even those who are not good at science can learn with excitement.
During summer vacation and special exhibition periods, special exhibitions featuring the latest research and trends are also very popular!

Furthermore, the National Museum of Nature and Science is involved in the forefront of scientific research in Japan, offering educational programs, workshops, and guided tours.
It is recommended not only for families with children but also for those who want to enjoy an intellectual adventure at their own pace.

The beautiful, historically evocative building and the calm café and museum shop attached are also delightful points.
For souvenirs, there are experiment kits, unique picture books, and dinosaur goods that even adults will want.

The National Museum of Nature and Science is a miraculous place where "wanting to know!" turns into "fun!"
Please come and experience the excitement of science and nature once again.
The door to a new world will surely open here 🚪
