でんきの科学館

Nagoya's Electricity Museum in Fushimi is an educational and fun visit especially for parents with young children.

The four-story modern building, maintained by Chubu Electric Power Company, has dioramas and hands-on equipment on all aspects of electricity: its production, transport and use. Kids (and their parents) can learn about the pioneers behind the development of electrical power including Thomas Edison and Alessandro Volta.



The Ohm Theater has a large screen with interactive games and quizzes for the audience. Tours can be arranged in English if you reserve one week in advance.

There are similar museums dedicated to electricity throughout Japan and run by the regional electricity generating companies, including the TEPCO Electric Energy Museum in Shibuya.
