10 Science Museums in Hokkaido That You Shouldn't Miss
Hokkaido (北海道, Hokkaidō, literally "Northern Sea Circuit") (Japanese: [hokkaꜜidoː] ( listen)), formerly known as Ezo, Yezo, Yeso, or Yesso, is the second largest island of Japan, and the largest and northernmost prefecture. The Tsugaru Strait separates Hokkaido from Honshu. The two islands are connected by the undersea railway Seikan Tunnel. The largest city on Hokkaido is its capital, Sapporo, which is also its only ordinance-designated city. About 43 km north of Hokkaido lies Sakhalin Island, Russia, whereas to its east and north-east are the disputed Kuril Islands.

We go to science museums on almost every trip we take so have visited several from London to Zurich to Shanghai. This was probably the best we have been to yet! We were greeted by a lady who had English cards so we could buy the right tickets which was promising, however inside English was very limited. However it didn’t matter as everything was interactive and a lot explained with images. We all played for a couple of hours, with our teenager lasting a little longer but our nine year old wanting to stay past the fourth hour! This is a really good interactive museum which is just so much fun for kids. Highly recommended.
