Stargazing Event
Lose yourself in the night sky over Kashikojima.
Kashikojima is located within Ise-Shima National Park, so nature is well protected and there are few streetlights, making it very dark at night.
On clear days, you can enjoy the magnificent starry sky that you cannot see in the city. A starry sky guide will guide you.
This observation session is limited to our guests.

Hideaki Miyamoto, Starry Sky Guide
He began giving starry sky guide tours while he was a university student majoring in geology, and in 2011 he was certified as Mie Prefecture's first starry sky guide.
Based in Shima City, we provide stargazing tours more than 150 times a year in the Tokai region.
What is a Starry Sky Guide?
This is a certified qualification that certifies knowledge of astronomy, observation skills, and culture related to the stars. It introduces ways to enjoy the starry sky and the universe.
Information about our star chart rental service
On days when stargazing events are not being held, we lend out star charts at the front desk.
