Nagoya City Science Museum
Nagoya City Science Museum consists of three main areas: the Science and Technology Museum, the Astronomy Museum, and the Life Science Museum. Here, visitors can explore approximately 230 different exhibits, including a 9-meter high artificial tornado and an aurora experience in a lab maintained at minus 30 degrees Celsius. Moreover, the building itself incorporates sustainable design features such as solar power generation and green walls.
The planetarium's programs change themes monthly, allowing visitors to learn about cosmic myths, lunar phenomena, and black holes, explained in an easy-to-understand manner by the curators. This engaging approach helps fascinate children in an era where there are concerns about declining interest in science.
It is accessible within a 5-minute walk from Fushimi Station. With its blend of entertainment and educational value, Nagoya City Science Museum is a recommended spot for anyone interested in science.
