Saga Prefectural Space and Science Museum

Saga Prefectural Space and Science Museum is a science museum in Takeo that features an advanced planetarium, an observatory with large telescopes, and interactive exhibits on space exploration. The facility offers hands-on activities where visitors can explore fundamental concepts in astronomy and space technology.

The museum was founded in July 1999 and emerged as a regional center for space education in Saga Prefecture. Its architecture was designed by AXS Satow and has shaped the institution's appearance since its opening.

Through scientific demonstrations and hands-on activities, the museum connects Japanese youth with space technology, fostering interest in astronomical research.

Visit on weekdays or early weekend mornings when crowds tend to be lighter and you can move freely through the exhibits. The interactive areas allow you to explore at your own pace without needing a guided tour.

The exhibition is divided into three distinct learning zones - Space Discovery, Saga Discovery, and Earth Discovery - each focusing on specialized topics. This layout lets visitors choose between different areas and customize their learning experience.
