Event Overview

"Let's Go See the Stars Tonight" is a special event held amidst the breathtaking nature of Hokkaido, allowing you to feel the brilliance of the stars up close. Co-hosted with the Okhotsk Ryuhyo Park, this program offers access to exclusive areas that are usually closed at night. Whether you are a beginner or an astronomy enthusiast, you can enjoy a deep connection with the universe through professional telescope observations and expert-led explanations.

Highlights & What to Expect

The highlight of this event is the high-definition celestial observation through professional telescopes. An expert guide will provide easy-to-understand lectures on the seasonal transition from summer to autumn constellations.

This is a rare opportunity to escape daily life and immerse yourself in the vastness of space from a restricted-access location.
