A Journey into the Depths of Time

In this new production, viewers will follow Nobita and his friends as they embark on a journey using Doraemon’s magical gadgets to uncover the intricacies of time. What exactly is time, which we cannot see? The show explores its origins and reveals hidden secrets through stunning, immersive visuals in the planetarium's dome.

With this one-of-a-kind narrative, the story asks the important questions: What would happen if clocks didn’t exist? Would we be free from the constraints of time?

Not only will audiences enjoy a thrilling storyline, but there will also be an 8-minute photo session featuring the characters from the story along with the 12 zodiac signs! After the screening, you'll have the chance to spot your birth sign shining bright in the dome and capture a picture with it. This magical moment provides a wonderful opportunity to create lasting memories, and we encourage sharing your photos on social media!

The Synopsis of the Adventure

The story kicks off with Nobita arriving late to school, prompting him to think, “If there were no clocks, I could sleep as long as I want!” With the help of Doraemon's ‘Anything Box’, Nobita imagines a world without ticking clocks. However, he still oversleeps and ends up late for school as usual. Surprisingly, in a clock-less world, the rising and setting sun dictates the time based on its movements!

Desperate to create a reality where he can sleep endlessly without ever being late, Nobita learns from a ‘Creation Learning Set’ that time and the universe are closely interconnected. Then, a surprise package arrives from the Future Department Store, containing time-related gadgets, which soon entangles them in unforeseen troubles. What could these unseen secrets of time hold? Join Doraemon and his friends to uncover the mysteries!
