Miraikan is a science museum at 2-3-6 Aomi in Odaiba, Koto Ward, Tokyo. Japan's Science and Technology Agency created it, and it opened in 2001. The article names no architect, style, materials or dimensions, and it gives no construction dates.

Its symbol exhibit is the Geo-Cosmos, a globe covered in LED and HDR panels. Exhibits are grouped in two zones, "Explore the frontiers" and "Create your future." The museum stages two to three special exhibitions a year. Demonstrations by the robot ASIMO ended on March 31, 2022.

The article does not give opening hours, admission fees or construction cost. Visitors planning a trip should check the museum's own website for current times and prices.
