Probably
a
great
place
for
Japanese
school
children
but
just
so-so
for
us
since
we
aren't
fluent
in
Japanese.
It
probably
didn't
help
that
several
exhibits
and
activities
were
closed
due
to
Covid
precautions,
including
the
Arctic
Freeze
room.
Some
exhibits
regularly
end
before
the
museum
closes,
so
you
should
probably
go
earlier
in
the
day
and
time
your
visit
based
on
activities
you
want
to
do.
There
were
still
a
lot
of
experiential
exhibits
(similar
to
the
SF
Exploratorium)
when
we
visited,
but
all
the
explanations
were
in
Japanese.
That
said,
I
later
learned
that
you
can
download
an
app
that
provides
some
of
the
explanations
in
other
languages,
so
I
highly
encourage
you
to
do
that.
The
app
lets
you
read
the
descriptions
(or
listen
if
you
bring
headphones).
Also,
note
that
the
planetarium
shows
are
exclusively
in
Japanese.
Adult
ticket
costs
400yen
(or
800yen
with
planetarium)
as
of
Sept
2020.
