About the Mitsubishi Minatomirai Industrial Museum

Overview

The Mitsubishi Minatomirai Industrial Museum was established by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. in June 1994 to give youngsters the opportunity to expand their dreams as they move into the future by experiencing science and technology. The museum is divided into six zones: Space, Ocean, Transportation, Daily Life Discovery, Environment / Energy, and Technology Quest. It introduces state-of-the-art technology through life-sized or enlarged models. Trial Square, a unique space with experience-based exhibits, encourages visitors to experience aspects of manufacturing through the design, fabrication and operation of various types of vehicles.
The experience-based exhibits give youngsters the chance to cultivate their latent talents in science and technology by exposing them to current and future advances they can rarely see in daily life.

About Techno-kun

Introducing "Techno-kun", the character of the Mitsubishi Minatomirai Industrial Museum. The light, fluffy and adorable Techno-kun was created out of the image of science and technology of the future, which will operate in harmony with nature. The budding leaves held in Techno-kun's hand embody the hope that the "budding ideas" of science and technology that children hold today will spread out towards the future much as sprouts grow forth from seeds. Techno-kun also appears from time to time at exhibitions and events around the museum. We hope that visitors will enjoy meeting Techno-kun.
