Yamanashi Science Museum

The Yamanashi Prefectural Science Museum is located near the summit of Mount Atago-yama, a mountain rich in nature with a panoramic view of the Kofu Basin.
The permanent exhibition, which features hands-on participatory items, is divided into six sections: 'Science Play', 'Nature', 'Life', 'Science and Technology', 'Space' and 'Earth'. Each section is designed so that visitors can not only look at the exhibits, but also discover the wonders of science and make new discoveries by actually moving their bodies and touching the exhibits.
　The popular Space Theatre features a dome screen 20 metres in diameter, on which the stars in the sky and powerful fulldome surround images are projected. Visitors can experience a realistic and realistic space experience created by realistic and beautiful stars.
The large telescope installed in the astronomical observation room is one of the largest in the prefecture. At solar viewing events held on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, visitors can observe the daily changes on the surface of the Sun in real time through a telescope fitted with special filters for solar observation.
There are also other areas where visitors can learn the fun of science while playing, such as the Experiment Workshop, where they can try various scientific experiments and handicrafts, the Playing Room, which is safe for small children, and the Multimedia Corner, which offers robotics and programming classes.
The observation terrace on the south side of the science museum offers a view of the Kofu Basin and Mt Fuji.
