The Showa-kan is a national facility that preserves the memories of the war experienced by the Japanese people during the Showa era, and collects, displays, and exhibits historical materials and information related to the lives of the people of that time, passing on their struggles to future generations. It features displays themed on "The lives of the Japanese people throughout the pre-war, wartime, and post-war periods." This project is a renewal of the epilogue, "Life in the Showa Era - A 1950s Experience Area," which has been developed in stages since the basic plan was established in 2023. This era, from post-war displays to the period of high economic growth, is filled with bright and exciting attractions, along with the nostalgia of Showa retro. displays space consists of a recreated house and an alleyway, designed to resemble an "electronics store" in a shopping district. The electronics store is lavishly lined with the "three sacred treasures" of various companies, which were the most coveted home appliances of the time. Numerous posters pasted on the wooden fence offer a glimpse into the social conditions and culture of the time. The alley leads to the backyard and veranda of an electrician's shop, where you can experience water-related chores from before the age of electricity through hand pump and hand-cranked washing machine simulations. The kamishibai storyteller in the square is performing the very popular "Golden Bat." When you hold up your smartphone to the silhouette panels of the electrician's family (father, mother, and child), they will tell you about their lives from the 1950s.

Opened in 1979, the Toyama City Science Museum explores the diverse natural environment of Toyama from a scientific perspective. In March 2026, the first-floor geology displays room, "Toyama: A Journey Through Time," and the lobby displays were renovated and reopened. This renovation was the first medium-scale renovation in approximately 20 years since the full-scale renovation that our company was in charge of in 2007. The main geology displays room introduces the formation of Toyama's land and the history of life through numerous rock and fossil specimens. While retaining the appeal of the existing displays, new sections were added, including "Toyama's Land Masterpieces," "Toyama Field Map," "3.5 Billion Years of Life History," and the complete skeleton of the Ankylosaurus dinosaur, "Gastonia burgei." displays displays intuitively convey the charm of Toyama's land and nature, connect life, the land, and nature, and deepen displays through video and digital technology.

This also aimed to reduce renovation costs, improve maintenance efficiency, and create a new science experience space that balances safety and functionality.

Located in Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture, the Joetsu Science Museum is an interactive science museum based on the concept of "seeing, touching, and verifying for enjoyment" for both children and adults. Last December, a new item, the "Element Shooter," was installed in the Life, Environment, and Energy Zone. This exhibit allows visitors to "learn chemistry while playing" by aiming and shooting (selecting) elements from the periodic table displays on a monitor, unraveling the world of elements and compounds. Two types of content are available: "Let's Learn About Elements! (Individual Element Search Mode)" and "Let's Create Compounds! (Quiz-Style Battle Mode)."

Osaka University of Arts' Animal Diorama Museum, "Geidai Zoo," is the world's first animal diorama museum at a university facility. Students from all departments can use the museum as a teaching material for artistic expression, drawing animals and creating animal characters. Under the direction of Kenji Wakao, professor and head of the liberal arts program at Osaka University of Arts and general producer, the museum has created three diorama areas—"African Grassland," "African Forest," and "Rocky Grassland"—to displays each animal in its natural habitat using stuffed specimens donated by the Shiga Safari Museum.

Located within the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion at the 2025 World Exposition, Osaka, Kansai, Japan (Osaka-Kansai Expo), this space offers a close-up look at actual myocardial sheets made from iPS cells. A symbolic sculpture has been installed with the motif of a "tree" growing from the seed of iPS cells into a mighty tree, representing the progress of research and development around the world since the discovery of iPS cells and the development of science and technology. Within the "tree" is a giant heart model that moves in sync with the beating of the myocardial sheet on displays, and the heartbeat reverberating loudly in the atrium, along with video effects, express a future where people can live healthy lives thanks to advances in regenerative medicine.

This content is a tour video introducing Sogenji Temple, the national shrine of the Ryukyu Kingdom, located in Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture.
