National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo (Kahaku)
Located in the heart of Ueno Park, this institution, commonly known as Kahaku, is Japan's oldest and most comprehensive natural history museum, founded in 1877. The complex serves not only as an exhibition space but also as an internationally recognised research centre, preserving millions of specimens, fossils, and historical artefacts for future generations. Over the past century and a half, the museum has become a cornerstone of Japan's scientific community and public education, bridging the natural heritage of the Far Eastern archipelago with global scientific knowledge.
