Stargazing at the Observatory in Nirasaki

The area around Amari Mountain in Nirasaki City is at high altitude with minimal light pollution, making it an ideal location for stargazing and popular among astronomy enthusiasts. At the municipal observatory, you can observe Saturn's rings, Jupiter's bands, and seasonal constellations through a large 50cm diameter telescope. The time spent looking up at the night sky while listening to staff explanations is a luxury that cannot be experienced in the city. It's especially crowded during the summer Perseid meteor shower season.
