Japan's southernmost island, Hateruma has less light obstacle, so it's suitable for stellar observation! You can see the thick part of the Milky Way, that is to say the center of the Galaxy, much better than those in Honshu region. If the season is good, you can see the Southern Cross, too!◎To Hateruma Island, access by ferry. Bring medicine for motion sickness by yourselves. Stellar Observation Tower's party is good (you need a car). The lights of the Milky Way is slight, you may not be able to see like the first pic. Remember, the Milky Way is seen at the left of the Scorpion. I took these pics near the southernmost stone monument, but be careful no to lose your way because there's no signs!

Ishigaki Island is famous for Kabira Bay, where you can see the beautiful sea, but not only the sea but also the starry sky is very beautiful. The northern part of Ishigaki Island and Taketomi Town, including the Kabira Bay area, are the first places in Japan to be certified as "Starry Sky Reserve", and the starry sky seen from Kabira Bay is like a natural planetarium. Kabira Bay is recommended for those who are afraid to walk in the dark and experience the starry sky in an unfamiliar land.
