Konica Minolta Planetarium Tenku

The Konica Minolta Planetarium "Tenku" opened on May 22, 2012, within Tokyo Skytree Town and underwent a complete renovation in November 2017. This state-of-the-art facility represents one of five planetarium theaters directly managed by Konica Minolta, the only planetarium manufacturer that operates its own theaters. Located on the 7th floor of Skytree Town East Yard beneath Japan's tallest structure, the 634-meter Tokyo Skytree, Tenku forms part of a comprehensive entertainment complex.

The planetarium stands as a technological showcase for advanced astronomical projection. Its dual projection system combines the optical planetarium "INFINIUM S," which creates realistic starfields, with the digital planetarium "Media Globe Σ 4KTE-L," delivering dynamic visual content. The theater features an 18-meter dome with a 10-degree tilt and accommodates 199 visitors. The immersive experience extends beyond visuals through the advanced 3D SOUND DOME® system, incorporating 43 speakers and 4 woofers throughout the dome to create three-dimensional audio that moves in circular patterns.

Visitors can choose between standard seating and premium experiences. Three crescent moon-shaped premium seats positioned at the dome's front offer custom-made comfort for up to two people each. These reclining seats allow guests to lie down while watching presentations, making them particularly popular for romantic visits. Special programming includes collaborations with popular artists and aromatherapy-enhanced shows. Multilingual audio services are available in English, Chinese, and Korean for selected programs at no additional charge.

The planetarium is situated in Tokyo Skytree Town East Yard at 1-1-2 Oshiage, Sumida-ku, Tokyo. Access is convenient via multiple train lines serving Oshiage and Tokyo Skytree stations. General admission starts at 1,600 yen for adults (middle school and above) and 1,000 yen for children (ages 4 and older). Premium seat experiences begin at 4,200 yen and can accommodate up to two people of elementary school age or older, with one additional preschool child permitted. The facility operates within the broader Tokyo Skytree Town complex, allowing visitors to combine their planetarium visit with shopping, dining, and other attractions including the nearby Sumida Aquarium.
