Public shows at Kagura Horayume (Okasan Digital Dome Theater): Yes
Digital dome theater with planetarium and dome films. Check the official site for the current schedule and tickets before you go.
A planetarium show is the one astronomy outing that clouds and city lights cannot cancel. Most public shows run 30 to 50 minutes; live shows, where a presenter flies the sky to tonight's planets and constellations, are the best preparation for a night at a dark site. Shows often sell out on weekends and school holidays.
