Nagoya City Science Museum

Save

A science museum with a 9m indoor column of spinning air and 4m Tesla-coil sparks.

Its sub-zero lab, the first of its kind in Japan, holds -30°C while an all-dome aurora plays overhead.

Signs on site read 'FUJI Nagoya Science Museum' — a naming-rights name for the same museum; the planetarium dome is called the FUJI Sky Dome.

Three linked buildings hold eleven permanent exhibition rooms and four large exhibits. The Tornado Lab raises a 9m column of spinning air; the Discharge Lab cracks 4m sparks from two Tesla coils. The Frozen Lab, Japan's first -30°C exhibition room, shows real ice under an all-dome aurora. The Water Plaza traces the cycle from cloud to river to sea. The planetarium on the sixth floor seats 350 under a dome nicknamed the FUJI Sky Dome. It stands in Shirakawa Park, the silver sphere visible from the lawn.

Basics

Fee：Until 30 September 2026: exhibition rooms plus planetarium ¥800 for adults and ¥500 for high school and university students (student ID required); exhibition rooms only ¥400 and ¥200.

Visitors with a disability certificate and up to two carers are admitted free■
Hours：9:30-17:00, last admission and last ticket sale 16:30 (planetarium evening shows are an exception). Closed Mondays — when a Monday is a public holiday the museum opens and closes the next weekday instead — and on the third Friday of the month, moving to the fourth Friday when the third is a holiday.

Booking：Tickets are sold at the entrance hall counter on the day (cash, credit cards, e-money and QR payments). The official online ticket site takes credit cards only. Exhibition-room-only tickets can also be bought in advance at Seven-Eleven, Lawson, Ministop and FamilyMart (adult and high school/university rates only, valid one month; planetarium tickets are not sold this way). For the planetarium, be in the 6th-floor dome before the start time — entry closes once a show begins, with no refund, and times cannot be changed■Official booking site ↗
Signs on site read 'FUJI Nagoya Science Museum' — a naming-rights name for the same museum; the planetarium dome is called the FUJI Sky Dome. In the planetarium, children aged 4 and under watch on an adult's lap, one child per adult — a group with more small children than adults is turned away■■
