Minamitecho Kawachi Onsen Center

Tanegashima Space Center is Japan's largest rocket launch site, covering a total area of approximately 9.7 million square meters. Surrounded by beautiful seas and trees, it is said to be the most beautiful rocket launch site in the world. Inside the center, there is an exhibition facility called the Space Science and Technology Museum, which features a large screen for launch videos and a corner where visitors can touch rocket parts. Additionally, there are three guided bus tours operating daily that take visitors around various locations within the center, showcasing the first and second stages of the H-II rocket No. 7, a future technological heritage. The bus tours are free and require advance reservations.

A science theater provided on the site of the Tanegashima Space Center. Introducing various fields in space development, using full-scale models and various games. There is also a rocket launch theater where you can experience a powerful rocket launch pattern with a large screen and loud acoustics. Three times a day, a guided tour of the facilities of the center will be conducted with the guidance of a guide (advance booking is required). I want to be careful because it will be closed at the time of the rocket launch.

昭和57年(1982)上皇上皇后両陛下(当時皇太子、同妃両殿下)が種子島にお出ましの折お詠になられた、お歌の御製碑がある。ロケット打ち上げ見学場所にもなっており、高台からの眺めは絶景だ。
