Konica Minolta Planetarium “TENKU” in Tokyo Skytree Town® — Attraction in Tokyo

It was a stressful experience. Did not enjoy mainly because the staff is rude and military like discipline is expected from paying customers.

The quality of the show was sub-par.

We visited with a kid who understood and stuck to the "be quiet" mantra. Because he had a English interpretation headphones, there was a section in between which asked if we are enjoying the show so far. And the kid involuntarily blurted a single, not too loud "yes". Within half a second the staff pounced upon us and rudely asking the kid to be quiet with exaggerated expressions and body language. And basically stood near us for the next few minutes to ensure compliance. For the rest of the show we were stressed and could not focus on anything.

Oh and by the way, in one of the sections it translates the greek word Ceres (grain) to Serial (as in breakfast Serial) but the correct word is Cereal.

More than a planetarium is basically a movie theater. They were showing 3 different movies at different times. If you plan to visit Solamachi for a couple of hours and while you are there see one of the movies check in advance the time they run the movie and what shows are on. You may find some of the movies are not worth the time and they only run one at the time. At show time a hostess guides you to the room.

You take your sit, almost horizontal, they turn the lights off and the movie starts. Pretty standard experience. No complaints but nothing extraordinary. It'll depend on the movie you choose I guess. The staff was nice an efficient as usually in Japan. The place was really clean as well. No popcorn on the floor or bubblegum...

Visiting the Konica Minolta Planetarium was a breeze as there was no queue when we arrived. It's worth noting that they don't offer food and drinks inside, so it's a good idea to eat beforehand. Additionally, there are no toilets inside, so plan accordingly.

One positive aspect was the availability of an English version of the narration, which greatly enhanced our understanding and enjoyment of the show. The planetarium itself was a captivating experience, providing a mesmerizing journey through the cosmos. The visual effects and immersive storytelling left us in awe.

While the lack of amenities like food and toilets may be a downside, the incredible celestial journey and the convenience of an English narration made it a memorable and educational...
