Experience science at the planetarium and solar telescope
Opened in 1980, this is Japan's first museum for children, where children can play freely and have a variety of experiences while having fun, with the hope that children will develop a scientific mind and a culturally creative mind. In addition, the planetarium has a 20m diameter dome that dynamically recreates the glittering constellations and the infinite expanse of the universe.
