Natural Planetarium Tour
A natural planetarium tour of Miyakojima's star-filled sky.
Using a laser pointer, we will explain how to find seasonal constellations and the Greek myths associated with the constellations.
In the second half of the tour, we will take you through a world of space where you can observe planets and nebulae through a telescope and see things that can never be seen with the naked eye.
We also provide picnic sheets and binoculars for you to enjoy the tour in comfort.
Why not go out and discover the stories of the night sky?

・On days around the full moon, the number of stars that make the moon appear bright is limited, so it is difficult to see the craters of the moon through a telescope.
This will be a "moon viewing tour" that will take you through the center of the area.

We may ask you to be considerate of other customers (such as standing a little apart when entertaining your child).
