Wakkanai Youth Science Museum (Wakkarium)
Opened in 1974, this science museum in Wakkanai, Hokkaido, forms a combined facility with the adjacent Noshappu Aquarium and is affectionately known as Wakkarium. It houses Hokkaido’s oldest planetarium, which projects seasonal night skies with programs that change throughout the year. It also screens immersive dome shows using a digital projection system.
If the weather’s bad, this is a pretty solid backup plan. It’s in a convenient location, and it’s easy to pair with nearby spots.
