Witness fascinating eclipses, identify constellations and spot shooting stars at the Sendai Space Hall. This hilltop observatory documents the long history of astronomical discoveries and helps explain how astronomers monitor the night skies. Watch space events through its powerful telescopes and browse exhibits detailing ancient astronomical customs. The Sendai Space Hall was opened in 1998 with the purpose of tracking the movements of the skies above Japan. From outside, examine the ultra-modern building’s quirky design, which was inspired by astronomical technology. Enter through a series of concentric circles that resemble an enormous telescope. Inside, check out displays devoted to major astronomical discoveries and famous astronomers. Learn about Chinese stargazers and the astrology stories of ancient Mesopotamia. Get hands-on with the space-themed games and interactive exhibits in the main hall. A number of special shows and events are also hosted here throughout the year, educating visitors on the science of light, space and technology. Don’t miss Sendai Space Hall's main attraction, a huge telescope that measures 1.6 feet (0.5 metres) in diameter. Visit at night for a chance to see swirling galaxies, darting comets and planetary eclipses through the telescope. Look around and you may notice locals with their own telescopes too. This site is mostly free from light pollution and thus ideal for stargazing. After exploring the Space Hall, stroll through the peaceful garden surrounds of the Satsumasendai Municipal Park. This area, also known as Terayama Ikoi Square, features verdant lawns, a playground for the kids and a go-kart track. Marvel at the bounteous colours of the flower garden, which contains more than 400 cherry blossoms. Enjoy sweeping views of the Koshiki Islands and the East China Sea. The Sendai Space Hall is located in northeastern Satsumasendai, just a short drive from the city centre. Free parking is available on-site there is an admission fee to enter the hall, which is closed on Mondays. Consult the Space Hall's website for information on major upcoming astronomical events.
