I went to see the planetarium. Perhaps by chance, it was a private place with no one around. Even when the place was reserved, the people who talked to me did their best to talk to me. The stars were beautiful, and the story was much more in-depth than what I've heard at other planetariums.

Adults 300, children 100 It was reserved The navigator was powerful without cutting corners. It has a handmade feel to it, which is nice too. It felt like no other
I moved to Kuki and heard that there was a planetarium there. It gives real explanations rather than audio. It seems to be made by hand, and it has more small stories than other planetariums, which leaves a lasting impression. If you know the meaning of Betelgeuse, you might not be able to listen to that song anymore. it was fun. I will go again.

It's a really nice facility! The projected program starts with the sky of Kuki City, which makes you feel closer to the sky and makes you want to see the starry sky for real. Although the real sky doesn't look quite as pretty. So go and check it out!

The planetarium here at Kuki Cultural Center usually has three projections on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays (11:00~, 13:30~, 15:30~), and one projection on weekdays (Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday) (16:00~). :30~), closed on Tuesdays and Fridays. August is summer vacation, so we are closed only on Tuesdays, and there will be three screenings every day (please check the official website for screening details), the first and second screenings are for children, and the third screening is for adults. It's a very enjoyable performance. So, I visited for the third time on Mountain Day. Parking was available at the back of the hall. When you visit for the first time by car, you may wonder where the parking lot is for the General Cultural Center, since there are parking lots for the prefectural library and city hall. You may be confused. Slow down, don't panic, and find a parking spot. There is a space to park in the parking lot along the road, but on this day, I was guided to the back (the parking lot in front was not allowed), and I wondered if they were doing that today. I was a little worried, but I was relieved to find a large parking lot at the back of the hall. There is a bus that runs from the west exit of Kuki Station to City Hall, so if you're walking, you might want to take advantage of that. From the parking lot to the main entrance, cross a small forest-like path. The moment you hear the sounds of cicadas everywhere and feel the summer. The hall was quiet, as if no event was taking place. The entrance to the planetarium is on the side of the circular building opposite the entrance to the hall. As you go up the stairs, there are exhibits directly in front of you, and the entrance to the planetarium is on your right. There is a notice on the door that says ``Under Preparation,'' and there is a ticket office next to it. Adults (high school students and above) 300 yen / Children (3 years old and above and junior high school students and below) 100 yen During the 3:30 show, the doors opened at 3:20, so I looked at the exhibits during that time. The Big Dipper is compared to a ``dipper,'' but children these days probably have fewer opportunities to see a ``dipper.'' A real ``dipper'' was prepared, and I could feel the care of the planetarium staff. There are separate toilets for men and women called ``Starry Sky Restrooms'' located beyond the ticket office. The screening time was approximately 1 hour, so be sure to use the restroom beforehand. The venue finally opened, and at the entrance, we had to cut off our ticket stubs and entered. Blankets are placed at the entrance to protect you from the cold, and you are free to borrow them. The exhibits seem to change every month, and stamp cards are available, not only for children but also for adults, and if you line up horizontally and vertically, like bingo, you'll get a single admission ticket. . Recently, there have been an increase in the number of planetariums that screen works like movies, but this planetarium is the Goto Planetarium, which also has a nostalgic projector. The commentator will explain about the starry sky using an original story. We had a very enjoyable time as he spoke with the smoothness of a comedian and did not miss the audience's reactions as he invited us on a journey through the starry sky and space that was integrated into the museum. When I heard that Hayabusa 2 was aiming for the C-type asteroid "Ryugu" in order to elucidate the origin and evolution of the solar system and the raw materials for life, I watched the movie "Hayabusa" on Amazon Prime that night. , I learned even more deeply from what the commentators had to say. In the planetarium projection venue, past program posters are displayed on the wall. I wanted to live a rich life where I could take time like this once a month.
