10 Science Museums in Kinki That You Shouldn't Miss

July 24, 2021 Tynisha Seiler

The Kansai region (関西地方, Kansai-chihō) or the Kinki region (近畿地方, Kinki-chihō) lies in the southern-central region of Japan's main island Honshū. The region includes the prefectures of Mie, Nara, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyōgo and Shiga, sometimes Fukui, Tokushima and Tottori. While the use of the terms "Kansai" and "Kinki" have changed over history, in most modern contexts the use of the two terms is interchangeable. The urban region of Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto (Keihanshin region) is the second-most populated in Japan after the Greater Tokyo Area.

Osaka Science Museum

Reviewed By mechicag0

This place is great! Kids under high school age are free. Adults 400 yen. We spent 1.5 hours there although we probably could've stayed longer we're it not for a tight schedule. Two of the four floors are hands on. Once you pay, they usher you up to the fourth floor and you work your way down. Plenty of benches here and there for tired adults.
