Mukai Chiai Children's Science Museum

The Mukai Chiai Children's Science Museum contains multiple interactive exhibits, a modern planetarium, and a 20-centimeter refracting telescope for space observation.

The science museum opened in 1991 to honor Chiaki Mukai, who became the first female astronaut from Japan and contributed to space exploration.

The institution promotes scientific education through hands-on experiences, encouraging children to develop interest in technology, astronomy, and natural phenomena.

Visitors can participate in regular workshops, astronomy sessions, and educational programs designed for different age groups throughout the calendar year.

The facility combines a science museum with an astronomical observatory, allowing children to learn about space through both exhibits and direct observation.
