Tomakomai Science Museum

Tomakomai Science Museum, Science museum in Tomakomai, Japan.

The Tomakomai Science Museum is a scientific facility in Hokkaido with exhibits covering physics, astronomy, and other scientific subjects. The exhibition includes interactive installations and learning resources organized across multiple halls.

The facility opened in 1970 as the Tomakomai Youth Center, with natural history and science exhibition sections. In November 1985, when the Tomakomai City Museum opened, its science section was expanded and the institution was renamed the Tomakomai Science Center. In December 1999, the Mir Exhibition Hall opened.

The center's name changed from Tomakomai Youth Center to Tomakomai Science Center in November 1985, when the city museum opened and the science section was expanded. Its Mir display hall opened in December 1999. Visitors can see a former Hokkaido Police Fuji Bell 204B-2 helicopter named Hamanasu and a Datsun Baby, alongside a planetarium and amateur radio station.

From Tomakomai Station, walk about 20 minutes south along Ekimae-dori, or take a bus from stands 1-3 (lines 10, 14, 17, 19, 21, 24, 25, 26 or 30) for roughly 4 minutes to Shiyakusho-mae and walk 5 minutes south. Highway buses from Sapporo stop at the same stop. Parking is free, with space for 4 large buses and 20 cars.

The museum displays a backup model of the Soviet Mir space station, allowing visitors direct contact with space exploration technology. This artifact is a rare example of Soviet space technology outside Russia.
