Fukuoka City Science Museum — Attraction in Fukuoka

Amazing exhibition and sparkling new facilities. Conveniently located in Ropponmatsu which is a new development after Kyushu University had moved away. There were many more than just a museum.

Although the shows are in Japanese, you do not need to speak Japanese to have an incredible experience.
