Gateway Hall
The museum is a multipurpose space that can be used for lectures and workshops, in addition to exhibits, and it also functions as a library for educational and research purposes.
3-Sided Screen
Our immersive video theater with a 3-sided screen will feature films on topics such as "Japan's Diverse Culture and Nature" and "The Nature and Life on Remote Border Islands." Through this powerful visual experience, you'll be able to feel the appeal of Japan more deeply.
The space is suitable for lectures and symposiums (including hybrid formats) and can be used for remote learning and workshops.
Ino’s Small Maps of the UK （Life-Size Replica*）
Only three sets of Ino’s Small Maps are known to exist worldwide. The set in the collection of the National Archives in the UK is particularly interesting as it was provided by the Edo Shogunate to the British Navy. Its excellent state of preservation and the various annotations added to it for British naval charts make it a fascinating artifact.

Library
