About Kurume City Observatory

Kurume City Observatory is recorded as a public observatory serving Fukuoka Prefecture. Detailed information on its specific facilities, telescopes, or opening hours is not currently available in public sources, so this listing should be treated as a starting point for further local enquiry.

Location & getting there

The observatory is situated within Fukuoka Prefecture, in the Asia region. The wider Kurume area is known for the Fukuoka Science Museum's planetarium, the Cosmo Theater, though that is a separate astronomy-education facility from the observatory itself and should not be confused with it.

Visiting Kurume City Observatory

Since public visiting details for the observatory are limited, it is best to check locally, for example with Kurume's tourism office, for current opening hours before planning a trip out to see it.
