JAXA Tsukuba Space Center — Local services in Tsukuba

Great exhibition centre worth spending at least an hour looking through, admission is free but check website for closing days.

Guided tours are in Japanese, there are QR code for each section that links you to their website for audio description, it includes both English and Japanese options.

The souvenir shop is quite nice with bunch of merchandise.

Taking the bus from Tx station is quite convenient however the bus does not have a route number so you have to check the Japanese name to make sure.

Pretty awesome place to pay a visit with family! Cool playground for kids. You need to book it in advanced, otherwise you cannot walk in or park your car. It is totally free, but you can buy some souvenir nearby at the small shop.

Here you can have lots of spot to take picture. Especially the astronout costume. That's awesome! There are some vending machines for beverages around Jaxxa, so don't worry if you'll get thirsty. They also have small cafe that sell coffee and bakery. Beside this, you can find omiyage/souvenir shop. If you come in a group, they have common room/hall. The toilets are so clean. Overall, it'll give you fun and knowledge at the same time,...
