    The drift ice museum consists of some exhibits, live sea creatures as well as movie theatre. But the most memorable was the ice room. Mimicking the temperature on the drift ice of - 15 degrees, you get to wear a coat and bring in a wet towel. After swinging it round 30 times, ice starts forming on the towel! Really cool!!

    Toyako Volcano Science Museum image
    While most visitors are here for hotspring stay, I dropped by for a visit. There is a mini-theater that documented the list of seismic events that lead up to the eventual eruption of Mt Usu and the birth of Showa Shinzan. It is a short film for around 15 minutes. Another fun spot in this museum is the 'Volcano Experience Room' where you step in, press the button and feel the roar of a volcanic eruption in that room. Besides, lots of remnants of the most recent eruption can be found in this museum. *The museum is not free. It costs around 500 - 600 yen for a single admission. *The museum is located the Visitor Center. But you will need to do a short walk from there. It is not immediately next to the visitor center.

  4. 4.0 Asahikawa Science Center (74 reviews)
    - Fun museum for adults and kids alike
    Monday: Science Museums
    Asahikawa Science Center image
    I've just spent a fun afternoon here with my wife and 9yo son. Like many Japanese museums, it's very well set up for kids, with lots of hands-on activities and techy fun. Unlike many Japanese museums, however, a fair number of the museum staff speak passable English, so a lack of Japanese ability shouldn't hinder your day. I'd also recommend a show in the planetarium, which you won't understand if you don't speak Japanese, but is very pleasant to watch anyway (in rotating and reclining chairs). Highly recommneded.
