Hateruma Island

Hateruma island is a manned island located at the southernmost tip of Japan. This island is the best place to see stars because there are few artificial lights in it and its location is scarcely affected by jet stream. From late April to middle June, you can see Southern Cross. Fortunately In the island there is a observatory which have a 200mm refracting telescope and planetarium. When you go there at night, watch out, because there is nothing around it(That's why you can see stars clearly). We recommend using transportation service(paid) from guest house. If you are in the island, please enjoy beautiful sea and stars both!
