[Tottori/Daisen] Night walk in the forests and grasslands at the foot of Mt. Daisen in Hoshitori Prefecture! Open your five senses to play and walk in the dark night. Starry skies, meteor showers, moon viewing, and Himebotaru and insect hunting in the summer.

Limited to one group per day. Even solo travelers can participate! We'll offer you a private night sky tour. Walk and play in the dark forests and plateaus at the foot of Mt. Daisen in Tottori Prefecture, a famous starry sky region. Avoid using lights as much as possible and sharpen your senses under starlight and moonlight. Remove your cell phone, watch, and other electronic devices and transition from the bright, lit nightlife to the unspoiled night forest. Enjoy a digital detox and space time. Spot signs and figures of nocturnal creatures, and if the time is right, observe fireflies and dung beetles. If the weather is good, you can enjoy stargazing, moon viewing, and meteor showers. In summer, you can even see the lights of fishing boats from the Sea of Japan. Unlike hiking or trekking, this tour will not involve strenuous walking or uphill/downhill climbs, as you'll experience the dark night. Anyone who can walk is welcome to participate. (Please contact us if you are using a wheelchair or have difficulty walking. The program will be conducted in selected fields.) ・Although this program is aimed at Japanese people, it can also accommodate foreign tourists by hiring an interpreter. There is a separate fee for the interpreter. (An additional 10,000 yen will be charged for an interpreter.)

The field is located at the foot of Mt. Daisen, at an altitude of approximately 800m. The meeting and implementation locations may change depending on the weather, the number of participants, and local events. Please avoid car headlights and streetlights as much as possible. We have selected a field where you will not encounter other tourists, so you can experience the night sky of Mt. Daisen in private.

If you want to walk on a dark night lit only by stars, come around the time of the new moon. If you want to experience the forest bathed in moonlight, come around the time of the full moon. If you want to see the starry sky, come on a moonless night (when the moon rises late, around the time of the new moon) or around the time of a meteor shower. Recommended meteor showers: The Quadrantids around January 4th, the Aquarids at the end of July, the Perseids around August 13th, the Orionids around October 22nd, the Leonids around November 18th, and the Geminids around December 15th. If you want to coincide with the nocturnal natural phenomena, please refer to the following: Fireflies: from around July 7th to around the 10th Evening primrose: all summer Glowworms: any time as long as there is no snow Opening and closing of legume leaves: spring to early autumn
