Nagoya Electricity Museum

Electricity Museum is just one of the science-related attractions in Nagoya where you can enjoy science and at the same time, be knowledgeable about how electricity is vital to our daily lives.

The museum is included in the 9 bus stop of the Nagoya Sightseeing Tour Bus. (Read my blog about the Nagoya Sightseeing Tour Bus).

It is a 2-minute walk east of Fushimi Station, exit no. 4. The museum is open from 9:30am to 5pm and closed every Monday and every third Friday of the month.

No need to pull out a penny from your pocket because the entrance ticket is free for everyone. The museum is known for its futuristic duck character, and all instructions are in Japanese so you better get a pamphlet with an English version to know where you're heading to.

At the second floor, you'll see the exhibit about the pioneers in electricity where holograms of scientists and interactive tools are on display.

The next room is the Science Plaza where you can personally try to play with static electricity and science experiments.

The third floor houses the OHM Theater where the guests can participate in quizzes and competitions as video game character on their impressive 29-foot screen. You need to get the free ticket at the counter. The video games will take about 40 minutes to 1 hour, and in Japanese language.

The third floor offers more exhibit on Voyage of Electricity  where real electrical equipment and models will show how electricity is produced at power plants and transported to homes and business establishments.

You will also learn about how the earth and energy are related. There is a chroma wall where you can see yourself on the screen and interact with the graphics. How cool is that!

The fourth floor offers more surprising exhibits such as the Land of Scientific Mysteries where you'll experience various optical illusions and more experiments.

The History Room contains some valuable documents about electricity.

To end my review, I would say that the Electricity Museum is a must-see for families especially for those who have kids because they will really enjoy the interactive games and activities. The museum staff members also allow wheelchairs and provide baby strollers and a nursing room to visitors with infants. So be sure to add this attraction to your bucket list when you do a tour in Nagoya, Japan.

But wait, there is another science museum to visit in Nagoya. Check out my next post soon about this one. Thank you for reading.
