HOKUSHU Sendai City Science Museum

Wide-ranging hands-on facility in Sendai covering natural history, life sciences, and engineering. The fossil collection includes specimens from Tohoku's rich prehistoric record, and the interactive exhibits let you test physical principles without needing to read explanations first. A planetarium runs regular shows, useful for a full day with kids or a rainy afternoon for solo visitors. The nature walk outside connects the building to seasonal wildlife along a short wooded path.
