    Kanagawa Pref. Yokohamashi Nishi-ku Minatomirai 3-3-1 Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Yokohama Building
    Mitsubishi Minatomirai Industrial Museum established in 1994 is a place you can learn about the present and future of science technologies which there is little opportunity to experience in daily life through fun hands-on displays. It introduces the most advanced technology using the real thing or large-scale models. It is divided into six zones: aerospace, ocean, transportation, daily life discovery, environment/energy and technology quest zones. It is about 10 minutes’ walk from Sakuragicho Station on the JR and the Yokohama Municipal Subway Line.

    When I think of Mitsubishi, I imaged airplanes, cars, rockets, ships, nuclear power, and part of the Japanese military complex. This museum really was a lot smaller than I expected and most of the...

Kanagawa Areas

around-area-map

Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
