About this spot

This space science museum is a symbol of Hakui, known as the "UFO Town." It displays spacecraft and space development equipment actually used in America and Russia, allowing visitors to feel the genuine impact of the real thing up close. The exhibits are packed with reentry capsules, lunar exploration materials, and displays that answer children's questions about space. The life-size rocket standing outdoors is a classic photo spot. Spending time indoors in this cool museum during your drive is a family-friendly bonus.

Tips

The museum has a barrier-free structure that's easy to navigate with a stroller. Allow about 2 hours if you want to carefully read the exhibits. If watching the Cosmo Theater presentation, note that it requires a separate fee and you should confirm showtimes at admission.
