リスーピア

RiSuPia is an interactive science museum in Odaiba focused on mathematics and physics through hands-on experiments and digital displays across multiple floors. Visitors work through problem-solving stations and manipulate physical objects to understand how numbers and scientific principles work in practice.

Panasonic opened RiSuPia in 2008 as a venture combining corporate technology expertise with science education for younger audiences. The museum emerged from the concept that digital tools could make abstract mathematical thinking tangible and accessible.

The name RiSuPia stands for 'Risu' (squirrel), 'Suu' (number), and 'Pia' (space), reflecting how the space invites visitors to explore mathematical thinking through playful engagement. Families and school groups move through the rooms discovering that math appears in everyday objects and natural patterns around them.

The museum sits near Tokyo Bay in Odaiba with good public transport access and clear signage throughout the building. Plan to spend several hours exploring each interactive station at your own pace, as hands-on activities work best without rushing.

The name RiSuPia merges three Japanese word roots to convey the idea of playing with numbers and mathematical space. This naming choice reflects the museum's philosophy that mathematics should feel like exploration and play rather than formal study.
