Miraikan
The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) is a new type of science museum that links people directly with the new wisdom of the 21st century. At the heart of Miraikan¡¯s activities is the cutting-edge science and technology. This is the ¡°state-of-the-art knowledge and innovation¡± which Miraikan aims to share with the whole society as part of enriched human culture.
Odaiba
Odaiba is a large artificial island in Tokyo Bay, Japan, across the Rainbow Bridge from central Tokyo. It was initially built for defensive purposes in the 1800s, dramatically expanded during the late 20th century as a seaport district, and has developed since the 1990s as a major commercial, residential and leisure area.
Daiba formally refers to one district of the island development in Minato Ward. The "Odaiba" name is commonly used to refer to the entire Tokyo Waterfront Secondary City Center (Tokyo Rinkai Fukutoshin) which includes the Ariake and Aomi districts of K¨?t¨? Ward and the Higashi-Yashio district of Shinagawa Ward.
