Events that stimulate children's minds

The concept of the Sorahaku is "to tell the stories of our ancestors' longing for the sky and space and their challenges" and "to give children the spirit of challenge and inspiration". It is sure to deepen children's interest in the sky and space! The attractive hands-on classes that tickle curiosity can be enjoyed by children from the youngest age. Some children come from other prefectures to participate in this popular event.
