What other travelers are saying about Konica Minolta Planetarium Tenku, Sumida
Not great… planetarium show was not educational/scientific at all, we saw the “Goodnight” show. The name really does it justice. The screen is mostly dots/stars on a black screen and calming wave sounds, would definitely put you to sleep. Staff were kind and gave good seat recommendations and the seats reclined decently far. For english speakers, there is an option for an earphones to listen to the audio in English. Audio isn’t really worth listening to imo since it’s not educational in any way. If you want to spend about an hour relaxing and looking at ok visuals this is the place.
Interesting starry night show. We watched 2 shows here. One was the Arabian, and the other one was the song of planetarium. We liked the song of the planetarium as the storyline was much better and touched with beautiful songs. Very relaxed and comfortable seating and ambience
No recording (audio or video) during the show.
Located on the 7th floor, shows run all day. Earbuds available if you don’t speak Japanese. Staff is very kind and patient. Show was great. Came out one show and bought a ticket for another.
Loved it! There are 6 different shows currently and I got to see 2 of them. They have regular seats and 3 special big sized seats which were amazing (they need to have a reservation) Both shows we're about 1 hour long. This is my first time going to a planetarium and this was spectacular, I will always remember the special memories this place gave me. If you are visiting Tokyo I recommend this if you love outer space 🌌
Great show. We saw the show about Fiji stars and it was really beautiful and relaxing
