Science Museum of Time and Space
The science museum symbolizes Akashi, the meridian city. The museum is popular for its exhibitions that can be enjoyed by both children and adults under the theme of time and space, as well as for its live commentary using the planetarium projector, which has the longest history in Japan, and for its starry sky guided tours. The observation deck on the 14th floor is a must-see, offering a panoramic view of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and Akashi city.
The planetarium projects four to five times a day. Check the official website for projection start times.
