How was life aboard the Fuji? Climb aboard and see for yourself!

Moored permanently at the Port of Nagoya Pier is the Fuji Antarctic Museum. For 18 years since 1965, the icebreaking capabilities of this ship - an indispensable feature for polar exploring vessels - allowed it to perform its research tasks until its permanent retirement. Converted into a museum, it lives now to tell the story of those explorers and the routine aboard.

The beloved orange ship at Port of Nagoya Garden Pier, the Fuji Antarctic Museum, received an extensive overhaul and reopened in March of 2017. And the spotlight among the exhibits is the "South Pole Dramatic Theater" (Nankyoku Doramachikku Shiata), a hall with images projected on all surrounding walls simulating a cruise among the icy polar sea.
