Goro Maeda, Star Sommelier®, will guide you. He has a wide range of experience at hotels in the Yatsugatake Mountains, including starry sky commentary, telescope star introductions, and starry sky photo slideshows. He is currently working as a Star Sommelier® to share his thoughts about the starry sky he looked up at as a child and how to enjoy the stars with many people, and to get them to know Yamanashi Prefecture, the starry city. He provides starry sky tours exclusively for private customers in the northern foothills of Mount Fuji area.
When talking about famous places in Yamanashi Prefecture, it is Mt. Fuji. The beautiful scenery of the highest mountain in Japan is loved all over the world and is familiar to many tourists. The charm and value of experiencing the great outdoors surrounded by the pristine scenery and clear air at the foot of Mt. Fuji is a one-of-a-kind healing experience that is "only here, only now, only for you". On days without moonlight, you can even observe the Milky Way with the naked eye! Timing is important to see the Milky Way, but why not share such a precious scene with someone special? We also have a wide variety of observation equipment, including telescopes, binoculars, and the currently popular electronic telescopes.
Our local guides, who were born and raised in Yamanashi Prefecture and have been familiar with the stars since childhood, will judge the weather and guide you only on days when the stars are visible. We will inform you of the weather forecast two days before the reservation date, so you can make a reservation with peace of mind. We will also check and suggest in advance what kind of starry sky you will be able to see on the day you have reserved, so please feel free to contact us about the timing when you can see the Milky Way, etc. We welcome everyone who wants to try starry sky guidance! We want to learn!
At the end of the observation session, we will take a commemorative photo with the starry sky you saw tonight as the background. Create memories with your family and loved ones with the starry sky. You will also receive an original starry sky photo taken in Yamanashi Prefecture and selected by a Star Sommelier®.
