About Konica Minolta Planetaria Tokyo Ticket
Konica Minolta Planetaria Tokyo opened in December 2018 in the historic Yurakucho area — the same neighbourhood that hosted Tokyo's first ever planetarium in 1938 — as the third direct-management theater in Konica Minolta Planetarium's network and Japan's first fulldome complex with two distinct dome theaters under one roof. The venue is operated directly by Konica Minolta, the world's leading manufacturer of planetarium projection systems, giving Planetaria Tokyo a technical excellence in the quality and realism of its starry sky projections that sets it apart from all other planetarium experiences in Tokyo.
The larger dome is the flagship experience — equipped with the Cosmo Leap Sigma optical planetarium, which received the GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2018 Gold Prize for its ability to project incomparably beautiful, shimmering stars while remaining compact in design, alongside the Media Globe Sigma digital planetarium that reproduces the full three-dimensional effect of the universe in motion. Together, these two systems deliver what can reasonably be described as the most realistic and emotionally affecting artificial night sky available at any public venue in Japan. The SOUND DOME system — a Konica Minolta proprietary technology — adds a further dimension, filling every cubic metre of the dome with precisely calibrated three-dimensional audio that makes the experience of travelling through space feel genuinely physical.
The programming philosophy at Planetaria Tokyo is rooted in the concept of entertainment for adults — shows are curated to be healing, meditative, and beautiful rather than purely educational, and the collaboration series with popular Japanese musicians creates a unique live-music-meets-space-travel genre that has no equivalent at any other planetarium in Japan. Healing planetarium shows incorporate aromatic fragrances released into the dome atmosphere during the screening, adding an olfactory dimension to an already multi-sensory experience. The lobby, Café Planetaria with its galaxy-inspired menu, and Gallery Planetaria gift shop are open without a show ticket and are well worth visiting in their own right.

What is the SOUND DOME system at Konica Minolta Planetaria Tokyo?
SOUND DOME is a proprietary Konica Minolta audio technology that fills every cubic metre of the dome with precisely calibrated three-dimensional sound, making the experience of travelling through the cosmos feel genuinely physical and immersive. It is one of the most technically advanced dome audio systems available at any public planetarium in Japan and is consistently cited by visitors as transforming the show into a complete sensory experience.

Yes — multilingual audio commentary in English, Chinese, and Korean is available for selected shows through an individual audio receiver at every seat. Ask for your preferred language receiver at the ticket counter when exchanging your e-voucher on the day of your visit. Not all shows offer multilingual audio — confirm which shows have English commentary available before selecting your screening.
What is the healing planetarium experience at Planetaria Tokyo?
The healing planetarium shows are among the most distinctive and beloved programmes at Planetaria Tokyo — designed to be meditative and restorative rather than purely educational, they incorporate aromatic fragrances released into the dome atmosphere during the screening, creating a multi-sensory experience combining beautiful starry sky projections, three-dimensional sound, and natural fragrance. The healing shows are consistently rated the most unique and relaxing experiences at the venue.
Can I visit Café Planetaria and Gallery Planetaria without a show ticket?
Yes — Café Planetaria and Gallery Planetaria are both open to all visitors regardless of whether they hold a show ticket. The café serves galaxy and nebula-inspired sweets, themed drinks, and snacks inspired by current shows or characters, while Gallery Planetaria — described as a secret gift shop somewhere in the galaxy — stocks exclusive star and moon merchandise and branded gifts.
Is the Planetaria Tokyo ticket valid on weekends?
No — the standard Planetaria Tokyo ticket available through Thrillark is valid for weekday screenings only and cannot be used on weekends or public holidays. Visitors wishing to attend on a weekend should check the official Planetaria Tokyo website for current weekend ticket pricing and availability.
Where is Konica Minolta Planetaria Tokyo located?
Planetaria Tokyo is at Yurakucho Mullion 9F, 2-5-1 Yurakucho, Chiyoda City — a 3-minute walk from Yurakucho Station on the JR Yamanote Line, 5 minutes from Hibiya Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya and Chiyoda Lines, and 5 minutes from Ginza Station on the Ginza Line. The venue is in the historic Yurakucho district near the Imperial Palace, easily combined with visits to Ginza or the Imperial Palace gardens.
Is there another Konica Minolta Planetarium in Tokyo?
Yes — Konica Minolta also operates Planetarium Tenku at Tokyo Skytree Town in Oshiage, which is a separate venue. The Thrillark ticket is specifically valid at Planetaria Tokyo in Yurakucho only and cannot be used at Planetarium Tenku or any other Konica Minolta location.
Do I need to book Konica Minolta Planetaria Tokyo tickets in advance?
Advance booking is recommended as popular shows — particularly healing planetarium and music collaboration screenings — can sell out on weekday mornings when the venue is busiest with tourist visitors. Booking through Thrillark saves up to 15% on the standard rate with instant confirmation. Exchange your e-voucher for a physical viewing ticket at the counter on the day of your visit — the date and show time cannot be changed after this exchange, so plan carefully before attending.
