The tour, which appeals to everyone from children to adults and helps increase our awareness of waste management techniques and recycling, is fitted out with a variety of interesting features. There is, for instance, an introductory video that includes animated segments and a display with computer-generated quizzes. Another part of the tour offers visitors a chance to get hands-on experience in the areas of power generation and recycling. 　 The exhibition includes models of the Maishima Plant and its sister-facility in Vienna, the Fernheizwerk Spittelau, and posters and photographs by Hundertwasser. 　 The official mascot of the Maishima Plant, POM-kun, plays a starring role in the facility's introductory video. The name POM was created by reversing the initials of "Maishima Plant." 　 　 One display in the facility, "Cavern of Flames," offers information on the mechanism for generating power, which makes use of the heat that is a product of waste incineration. When you turn the handle of the generator, an acrylic lotus flower opens, allowing visitors to learn how power is generated. 　 In the "Valley of Junk," a miniature version of the crane game like the ones you see at the arcade, visitors manipulate the tool to better understand how garbage is separated and recycling is carried out. At the end of the tour, one of the workers said something quite interesting: "At first, I wasn't particularly thrilled about working here because from the outside it didn't look at all like a waste incineration plant. But now working here gives me a kind of healing feeling. And I also feel proud to be working at a plant that is receiving so much attention from around the world."
