2026 Kawasaki Space and Green Science Center (かわさき宙と緑の科学館; formerly 川崎市青少年科学館) Cool Stroll: A Full-Day Enjoyment Course

This is a one-day course through Ikuta Ryokuchi (生田緑地) park in Tama Ward, Kawasaki City, where you can stay cool and comfortable even on the harshest lingering-summer-heat days. The star of the day is the Kawasaki Space and Green Science Center (かわさき宙と緑の科学館; formerly 川崎市青少年科学館). Admission is free and the exhibition rooms can be viewed freely; since the building is air-conditioned indoors, you can spend the entire hot afternoon comfortably cool. The planetarium 'Megastar,' which projects a world-class starry sky, has family-friendly pricing at 400 yen for adults and free for junior high school students and younger. In the morning, explore the tree-shaded trails of the same Ikuta Ryokuchi (生田緑地) park and the Kawasaki City Nihon Minka-en (川崎市立日本民家園), lined with old thatched-roof houses, enjoying the gentle air beneath the trees. The museum is open 9:30-17:00, and closed on Mondays and the day after a public holiday (open on weekends and holidays). Enjoy a day free of the heat, combining greenery close to the city center with indoor cool.
