Sofia Sakai Planetarium

Come gaze up at millennium-old starry skies.

This is Sakai’s only planetarium, opened following renovations in March 2012. During regularly-scheduled projections, visitors can enjoy a rich program suitable for a wide range of audiences, adults and children alike. Varied planetarium programming that changes with the season is offered together with night sky commentary. Two highly-recommended special programs are Planetarium Aka-chan OK!, which offers parents with babies a chance to enjoy the facility, and Evening Platenarium, which runs from the evening and is geared toward adult visitors. Sofia Sakai Planetarium is your opportunity to enjoy immersive astronomical projection in a full-sky planetarium dome.
