J-Drama Pilgrimage | MR.BRAIN (2009) — つくば国際会議場, the Finale’s Tokyo Science Museum

The July 11, 2009 finale of MR.BRAIN uses つくば国際会議場 (Tsukuba International Congress Center) as the fictional 東京科学博物館, the location where the feared explosion ultimately does not occur. The nationwide filming-location archive identifies the convention center specifically for this final-episode setting, while TBS’s archived episode page confirms the eighth and final broadcast date as July 11, 2009.

The real convention center remains active at 2-20-3 Takezono, Tsukuba, Ibaraki. Its official access page places it in central Tsukuba, roughly 800 meters on foot from Tsukuba Station, and continues to describe the facility as an operating conference venue. That makes the exterior and publicly accessible common areas a surviving endpoint for a pilgrimage through the drama’s science-and-police locations.

The stored coordinate is facility-level and does not claim the fictional museum entrance, an exact explosion-effects point, an interior room, or an actor position. Because access inside a convention center depends on scheduled events, visitors should use only areas currently open to the public and should not enter closed conference spaces to recreate the finale.
