Gifu City Science Museum

One of the key attractions of the Gifu City Science Museum is its planetarium. The planetarium boasts a dome of approximately 20 meters in diameter and can accommodate up to 221 visitors. The shows, which last between 50 minutes and one hour, are divided into two parts. The first half of the show is dedicated to explaining the night sky for that day, while the second half delves into a seasonally or thematically relevant topic.
