Kurobe City Yoshida Science Museum (黒部市吉田科学館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This science museum in Kurobe City has a planetarium along with hands-on exhibits. The starry sky projection is watched sitting down, which is welcome after a morning on foot. The exhibit corners include displays you can operate yourself to see how things work, and elementary-school-age children tend to get absorbed. Being indoors and air conditioned, it is also a reliable refuge during the hottest hours of the afternoon. Rest here, then head to the waterside area once the sunlight has softened.

Tips

Planetarium screenings run on a fixed timetable, so check the schedule for the day on the official website before you go. Confirm the opening days and admission fees at the same time. The hall goes dark during the screening, so tell children who dislike darkness beforehand. It is a short drive from here to Michi-no-Eki KOKO Kurobe.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 10 minutes. Spending the 13:00 hour, when the sun is strongest, indoors is the most comfortable plan.
