A science museum with a large planetarium inside. An unusual looking building. It looks like a UFO landed on the building. The exhibits and presentations are in Japanese only, and they seem to cater more to the school going kids. Outside the museum there is a space rocket, and a park.

Unfortunately, I do not recommend this attraction to foreigners. The main reason is the huge lack of English signs and descriptions. There are indeed English station which support English language, but it is really 0% convenient. Another bad thing about this, is the aim to younger kids - the majority of the museum aims to serve children, which is fine, but sadly isn’t communicated well. As a German student, it is rather boring here. If you want to enter the planetarium, you have to order the ticket in advance, sadly I couldn’t enter it.

I cannot recommend this museum enough. Absolutely wonderful variety of different scientific concept. I liked that the museum doesn't dumb anything down - it provides full factual information about a variety of physics, chem, bio, astronomy, earth science and engineering concepts. Everything is fully interactive and there are a number of wonderful physics/ chem experiments that you can see for yourself. Amazing.

A wonderful experience. This museum can be both an absolute source of joy and an opportunity for learning for children. Floors 2 to 6 are full of experiments and contraptions designed to explain basic scientific theories while demonstrating real life examples and applications. The exhibition starts with hydraulics, then common electrical and mechanical theories, then comes the waves, and lastly basics of human bodies. The place is so crowded, and each child is having so much fun enjoying science that it’s hard to believe that they are actually learning science which was supposed to be difficult. There is even a train simulator where you can run and control like a real train driver, and it’s an added bonus. If you have interest in science, then it’s highly recommended. If you do not have interest in scientific theories, still it’s recommended as a fun place.
