Izumo Science Center

The Izumo Science Center is a science museum with interactive exhibits spread across multiple floors, covering physics, biology, astronomy, and natural sciences through hands-on learning. The facility includes specialized laboratories, practice rooms, and a planetarium where visitors can engage in direct exploration and experimentation.

The museum was established in 2002 and has since grown into a key educational institution for schools across the region. Over the years, it has become a central hub for science education serving local students.

The facility serves as both an educational center for school groups and a public learning space, welcoming 150,000 visitors annually to explore scientific concepts.

The center is accessible to visitors of all ages, with areas designed for children through adults to learn and experiment at their own pace. Plan for a full visit since the exhibits and hands-on activities cover a large range of topics.

The building itself serves as a learning tool, using solar panels and rainwater collection systems to demonstrate environmental technology in action. Visitors can observe how sustainable energy solutions are integrated into the facility's daily operations.
