Miraikan focus not only on exhibitions and events but also on activities as a "Future Lab" where the public can participate in cutting-edge research and development, and field trials conducted at Miraikan. We advance future-oriented initiatives in collaboration with diverse stakeholders, including researchers, companies, artists, and local governments.
Visitors can experience technologies and services under development by participating in cutting-edge research and field trials. Feedback from visitors contributes to research and development and real-world implementation.
For Companies and Researchers
Call for Field Trial
In the Research Area located adjacent to the exhibition zones, there are approximately 10 ongoing research projects. We conduct collaborative research and development with visitors through participatory research, field trials, and dialogue events, using Miraikan as our research field.
Miraikan Accessibility Lab.
We are advancing research and development of technologies to support the future lives of people with visual impairments and technologies that enrich museum experiences, together with partner companies and universities.
Open-Source Autonomous Driving Project
Using the open-source software Autoware, we are developing autonomous driving technology to support the creation of safe,convenient autonomous mobility.

Creating ways for everyone to join AI development through everyday activities.
Exploring the Wonderful World of Children Project
We study the vision and development of babies and children to explore the formation process of "the ability to view the world" (visual perception ability).
Sustainable Biotechnology Project
We are conducting research and development of bioprocesses that produce hydrogen, a clean energy source, from food waste using electricity-generating microorganisms.
Human Organoid Project
We are approaching new medicine by utilizing "organoids" - miniature organs created in test tubes from human cells, such as iPS cells.
Space Cooking & Food Experience Project
A visitor-participatory project demonstrating future food circulation systems inspired by space environments.
AI Robot Living Lab Project
This research envisions a future in which AI robots are gradually introduced into society, learning and naturally integrating into our daily lives.
Tokyo Mirai Park
We bring together new technologies and ideas to promote exhibition experiences and technology demonstrations, creating "Future Tokyo" through public-private-academic collaboration.
Miraikan gathers the opinions of the general public on various issues surrounding science and technology. The views gathered are disseminated to the relevant organizations, contributing to the development of a new foundation for society.
