Group Reservation

If you are coming as a group of 10 or more people, please make a group reservation at least three working days in advance to ensure that the admission procedures and tour are carried out efficiently. Please consult with us about the details, such as the number of participants and the length of the guide tour, when making a reservation, as we may ask you to coordinate the schedule and the tour method, etc.
In addition to being able to see and experience cutting-edge exhibits on your own, we also offer guided tours of the exhibits for groups which make reservation, depending upon the availabilities of our staff. For more details about the programs for non-school and school groups, please see below.
If you would like a guided tour in a language other than Japanese, please bring an interpreter with you (depending on the staff's availability, we may be able to accept guided tours in English, so please contact us for more information)
