Stargazing Tour at the "Nagareboshi no Oka" Observatory (Reservation Only) Includes designated hotel pick-up and drop-off. This comprehensive package features a comfortable hammock option and a photography service using the Sony α7S III, an ultra-high-sensitivity camera chosen by our guides after extensive testing for its superior night photography capabilities. Feel the sensation of floating in space as you sway in a hammock under the stars, listen to our guide explain the constellations with a laser pointer, and receive a beautiful starry sky photo as a souvenir of your trip. This location is certified as a Starry Sky Place by the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA). Investigations by the association have ranked this environment at the highest level, offering truly world-class stargazing. There is also a high probability of seeing shooting stars—often multiple times within a single one-hour tour. Please spend a luxurious time immersing yourself in the beauty of the starry sky while listening to the background music of the Okinawan Sanshin.
