The most well known science museum in Japan is called “Miraikan”. The word “Mirai” means future, and the word “kan” stands for any kind of big structures; such as museums or pavilion, in Japanese. So, it literally means Museum of future.

Its official name is "National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation". Japan Science and Technology Agency built this museum, and the Chief Executive Director is Mamoru Mohri, Ph. D., who flew aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavor on the STS-47 (Spacelab-J) mission in 1992. He was the first Japanese astronaut who performed Japan-US joint investigation in space.
