The above are very popular places you can
visit. Today let me recommend one more place to visit: “ Gas Science Museum”.
【Gas Science Museum】
Gas Science Museum is just a 6-minute walk
from the exit 7 of Toyosu Metro Station.
When you get out of the station, you will
pass “Toyosu civic center” and Toyosu Park (explained above) and easily reach
the entrance of Gas Science Museum soon.
This museum (2-story and rooftop) is
operated by Tokyo Gas and have a lot of exhibits which you including young
children can touch and learn a lot of things.
The main theme of this theme park is “Learning
about all ”?” (questions) of energy and the
environment, for your “!” (findings).
Good points of this museum
1.
Children (and parents) can
learn many thing by participating in a science show with experiments and demonstrations
2.
A lot of programs(such as
cooking) are provided
3.
Admission free
Another surprising thing here is that you
can command a fine view on the grass on the rooftop. You can find a lot of skyscrapers across the canal and also can view
the Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Tower.
Lastly the attached is the picture of
Toyosu Market, which is to open Nov 7 2016.
One
more attractive spot is coming soon in Toyosu.
Toyosu became a very attractive spot in
these years and still advancing.
Let’s find something new in Toyosu!.
