2026 Kawasaki Municipal Science Museum (Kawasaki City Youth Science Museum) Starry Sky Full-Day Course

Spend a full day with the family enjoying a star-filled sky unaffected by the weather at the Kawasaki Municipal Science Museum (かわさき宙と緑の科学館) in Ikuta Ryokuchi Park (生田緑地), Tama Ward, Kawasaki City. The planetarium is equipped with the MEGASTAR-III FUSION, a projector that renders a starry sky of world-leading quality, realistically reproducing countless stars invisible under city lights. Hours are 9:30-17:00, closed Mondays (open on national holidays, closed the following Tuesday instead). The exhibition room is free to enter, and planetarium admission is family-friendly: 400 yen for adults, 200 yen for high school and university students and those 65 and over, and free for junior high school students and younger. Stroll the woodland of Ikuta Ryokuchi in the early afternoon, walk among the old farmhouses at the Japan Open-Air Folk House Museum in the park, then finish with the 15:00 planetarium show. Afterward, take your time exploring the free exhibits on space and nature. The projection schedule varies by day, so check the official website before you go.
