TEPIA Advanced Technology Gallery
TEPIA先端技術館
Kita-Aoyama · near Gaienmae Station (Ginza Line), ~4 min walk
A free, sleek gallery of Japan's cutting-edge technology — robots, AI, IoT, mobility and healthcare tech — with hands-on demos and coding/robotics workshops, refreshed regularly.
Why children love it: Interacting with real robots, driving-simulator and programming demos, and workshops where they build/program something to take away.
Honest drawbacks: Entry and workshops require advance reservation; exhibits change and skew a bit older (best ~8+); relatively small; some deep content is Japanese-first.
