Village of starry nights

Lose yourself in the vastness of the starry sky! ⭐????

Kochi has many natural wonders to offer to visitors, and a superb starry sky is one of them. 

Nishitosa Village, also called the “Village of starry nights”, is the best place in the prefecture to enjoy astronomical observation. At Shimanto Astronomical Observatory, visitors can see the moon and many stars very clearly, while listening to the guide’s explanations, for a better understanding of the Universe around us. 

Tourists can make a reservation for an observation session at the Hotel Seira Shimanto, which is located in front of Shimanto River, and at 20min away by bus from Ekawasaki Station. 

Enjoying stargazing and the view of Kochi’s nature is the perfect way to relax after a long day full of activities, don’t you think so?
