Nagoya City Sewerage Science Museum

The Nagoya City Sewerage Science Museum is a science museum at the Meijo Water Treatment Center that focuses on water management and sewage treatment. The building displays how water is handled, cleaned, and reused through exhibits and working demonstrations.

The museum was founded in 1989 and documents how Nagoya's water infrastructure developed over time. Exhibits display historical pipes from the Edo Period found near Nagoya Castle, showing how long the city has managed its water systems.

The place demonstrates how Nagoya manages water and the role sewage systems play in city life. Visitors can understand that clean water and good infrastructure are fundamental to how people live together in an urban setting.

The museum is near Chayagasaka Station and welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday; it closes on Mondays. Entry is free, making it easy to visit without planning a special budget for admission.

The building uses solar power for electricity and thereby demonstrates the topics it teaches to visitors. This hands-on use of renewable energy makes the museum more than just a place to learn about the subject.
