Ishigaki Island No. 1 starry sky environment

The International Dark-Sky Association (IDA), which consists of astronomers from around the world, recognizes only about 70 internationally recognized dark-sky reserves in three ranks that deserve to protect the sky environment. There is no place in Japan yet. However, the Kuura area on the Hirakubo Peninsula on Ishigaki Island is currently the first candidate area for certification as a "Starry Sky Conservation Area" in Japan. In other words, "Shooting Star Hill Kuura" is the world's highest level starry sky!

High probability of shooting stars (limited to dark nights)

It's hard to say "I can see shooting stars!" With confidence, but here in Kuura, it's normal to have five during a one-hour tour. I was impressed by the variety of shooting stars when I observed so many shooting stars, even though I observed 10 when there were many. There are various types such as a momentary type that disappears in an instant, a super long type that is long enough to make a wish about 3 times from the west to the east, and an explosion type that a green thick thunder runs and shines like fireworks. Your heart will be pierced by the shooting stars here in Kuura ☆

Sanshin song invites you to the unique atmosphere of Ishigaki Island

The stars and moon on Ishigaki Island show their beauty that can only be seen here when the song of the Sanshin, which is the culture of this area, echoes. The sound of the sanshin echoes comfortably in your heart, and the universe spreading in front of you swallows your consciousness. And any worries, any sufferings, maybe tiny things. The sound of the sanshin will lead you to a soothing starry sky journey so that you can meet each of you.
