Tsukuba Expo Center

Reviewed By Cielowatcher - Tsukuba, Japan

It is very conveniently located, a short walk from the Tsukuba Center train and bus station. Great for a cold or rainy day, or on a leisurely weekend. The original planetarium program can be enjoyed in English dubbing, via an earpiece that can be borrowed for free. There are also monthly music concerts held in the evening. Some of the exhibits are a bit dated, but there is also a lot of nostalgic paraphernalia from the 1985 Expo that was held here in Tsukuba.
