2026 Full-Day Course: Stargazing at Kanoya Rose Garden and Kirishimagaoka Park

A day centered on Kanoya Rose Garden and Kirishimagaoka Park (かのやばら園・霧島ヶ丘公園) in Hamada-cho, Kanoya City, Kagoshima Prefecture. This is one of Japan's largest rose gardens, with about 35,000 rose bushes planted across 8 hectares, and the observation deck at the adjoining Kirishimagaoka Park offers views of Kinko Bay, Sakurajima, and Mt. Kaimon. In summer, stargazing events with astronomy talks are sometimes held (in 2026, held on August 13, reservation required), so please check the official website for the evening opening hours during this season before you go.
