Activities code :240134

Rate per AdultJPY18,000~

Located just 60 minutes from Sapporo, Shinshinotsu Village is ideal for stargazing due to its limited streetlights and tall buildings. In November, the observatory will open, allowing you to observe the stars with a reflective telescope that can even observe Pluto. With guides and interpreters available, you can also learn about the stars. Why not spend a night under the stars in a town close to the heavens in Hokkaido? ・Please dress warmly, as it gets cold at night. ・We recommend bringing a hat and gloves. ・In case of bad weather, alternative tours will be provided, including slide presentations and guided explanations. If you wish, you can also take a dip in the nearby hot springs.
