Ashibetsu City is an area with little light pollution, certified as a Town of Starry Skies by the Environment Agency. Star Watching is held every night from 20:00 to 21:00, with a capacity of 30 people (first-come, first-served); the fee is 1,200 yen for adults, free for elementary school children and younger. Advance reservation is only possible when combined with a hotel booking through the official website (phone 0124-23-1155, deadline 18:00 on the day). Without a hotel booking, registration is first-come, first-served at the front desk on the day. The first 30 minutes are an indoor lecture, and in the second 30 minutes, weather permitting, you observe the actual night sky on the rooftop terrace and other spots.
