Nagoya Maritime Museum, intended to showcase how the Port of Nagoya is deeply significant in our lives
The theme of the Nagoya Maritime Museum is the Port of Nagoya being Japan's foremost international trade port. In Japan, as an island nation, many of the goods that support the Japanese, such as food and energy, are transported from overseas sources by ship. The Port of Nagoya, which ranks in first place for various metrics in Japan, such as the total cargo volume handled, is like a gigantic station. You can learn about the port from various perspectives, such as actual exhibits, panoramic models, and realistic simulator equipment.
The experience of taking the helm on a ship-handling simulator used by navigators during training is an exciting moment, enabling you to feel like a captain. You can also experience in CG the operation of a gantry crane that loads and unloads cargo. Adults and children alike are captivated by the experience.

Former Antarctic Observation Ship Fuji
In March 2017, the large orange vessel Fuji, which stands out vividly in the Port of Nagoya, underwent a complete renovation. The centerpiece of the exhibition is the Gokukan Dramatic Theater. Four large screens located in front, on both sides, and on the floor, provide a full impact experience of crossing the Antarctic Ocean on the Fuji. This is an opportunity to experience a world that you won't normally see.
