Shimanto Astronomical Observatory
四万十天文台（Shimanto Astronomical Observatory）
A stargazer's paradise surrounded by Shimanto's natural beauty
The Shimanto Astronomical Observatory is famous for its starry views. It's fitted with a genuine telescope, allowing you to observe planets and other astronomical phenomenon unable to be seen with the naked eye. Of course, even just sitting outside and looking up at the starry skies is a beautiful sight! A specialist attendant will point out which heavenly bodies are gracing the skies on the night you're there.
