JAXA i

JAXA i is an astronautical museum located in the Marunouchi OAZO building in Tokyo dedicated to Japanese space exploration. It displays rocket models, satellite hardware, and documents current and past missions through videos and interactive stations.

The museum was founded in 2004 by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency to display the nation's space achievements. Since then it has been an important place where Japan's space program and its progress are shared with the public.

The museum shows how space exploration connects to everyday Japanese life and what role it plays in the nation's identity. Visitors can understand why space research matters to the country.

The museum is located in a central business building and is easy to reach by public transit. The spaces are designed to be accessible and most exhibits can be understood without any special background knowledge.

Visitors can watch displays showing what Japanese astronauts are currently doing in space and what experiments they are running. The museum links its exhibits to active missions happening right now.
