[Spring Break] Starry sky observation with a one-day guide

In Kushimoto-cho, Japan's first private rocket launch site, Spaceport Kii, was born in December 2021. It is operated by Space One Corporation. The sea is open to the east and south of the shooting range, there are few houses and buildings around it, and it is easy to access by land from Honshu. At present, Kushimoto Town has set up a “rocket town” and is promoting regional revitalization starting from the space industry. This event was designed to make it easier to feel the “challenge to space” of this town and the nature unique to the southernmost tip of Honshu in your accommodation experience.

We do not use special equipment such as telescopes at this event. We value the experience of looking up at the night sky and finding stars with your own “eyes”. A local guide who is qualified as a star sommelier will be in charge of commentary, giving an easy-to-understand lecture on how to approach space and how to find stars. It is a starry sky guide that can be found on your own, not just with the experience of seeing stars.

Nature at the southernmost tip of Honshu. And the quiet night sky. On this day, there is time to experience it only in this place. Feel the universe by extending your stay at the hotel without moving or overdoing it. Please take this opportunity to enjoy the night approaching space in Kushimoto.

About 10 minutes by car from the hotel. Experience-based museum "Sora-Miru" space contact hall. It is a facility where you can enjoy learning about rockets and space through illustrations and exhibits based on the concept of "more close to space". Because it can be enjoyed by children and adults, it is also recommended as a spot to drop in before and after the event.
