About this spot
Stargazing using the 400mm-aperture reflecting telescope Polaris (ポラリス) on the rooftop of Kyukamura Minami-Awaji (休暇村南淡路). It is held daily, year-round, from 20:00 for about 45 minutes, free of charge and with no reservation needed. Certified 'Star Sommeliers' and 'Star Rangers' guide the session, and the program switches to a video presentation in bad weather. It is the only public observatory on Awaji Island.
