Last year, the weather was not good, and even though I went to the site, it was canceled. This year, I entered the same tour and was worried about what would happen. However, this year, the Milky Way was clearly visible, and I saw shooting stars as well.昨年は天候が良くなくて、現地まで行ったけど、中止でした。今年は同じツアーにエントリーして、どうなるか心配してました。ても、今年は天の川もくっきり見えて、流れ星も見えました。

I thought we could just look at the stars in a dark place by ourselves, but I'm glad we decided to join the tour. Not only did we hear stories about constellations and how what we can see changes with the seasons, but we also got to observe in a truly dark setting, which was incredibly moving. The staff was friendly, and we had a great time!自分たちで暗いとこで見ればいいかと思っていましたが
思い切ってツアー参加してみてよかったです
星座のお話や
季節で見えるものが違う話をして頂けたのもそうですが
ちゃんと本格的に真っ暗な所での観測で
そこにかなりの感動を覚えました
スタッフさんもフレンドリーで
たのしめました!

It was after the typhoon, and the weather wasn't very good during the event. Although I couldn't see a sky full of stars, I was glad to hear stories related to the constellations.台風が去った後だったりして、天候があまり良くない中での参加でした。満天の星空というのは観れませんでしたが、星座にまつわる話しを聞けて良かったです。

It was a wonderful time listening to stories about the stars and the moon while using a telescope under the starry sky. They also recommended great spots and times for stargazing, so we were able to do some stargazing on our own the next day, which was great.星空の下で、望遠鏡も使いながら星と月の話を聞けて、素敵な時間でした。
星空観測にオススメのスポットや時間も教えてもらえたので、翌日も自分たちで星空観測ができてよかったです。

There was moonlight, but I was able to enjoy seeing the Milky Way for the first time under a starry sky that was bright enough to see. As the visible stars changed with the clouds, the guide's stories about the stars were also wonderful, perfectly timed with what we could see.月明かりがありましたが、十分に見える星空で初めて天の川を見ることができ楽しめました。雲で見える星が変わっていくなか、見えるタイミングに合わせてガイドさんの星にまつわるお話しも見事でした。

Thank you very much.

The weather was bad, and we could hardly see any stars. Despite that, the staff worked hard to explain everything to us. Thank you very much.天候が悪く、ほとんど星が見れませんでした。そんな中でも、スタッフさんが一生懸命説明していただきました。ありがとうございました。

It had been raining until just before, and it seemed like it might get canceled on-site, but we were able to see it somehow. We made a reservation for six people, but due to the rain, two canceled, and they were very accommodating. In fact, the weather improved quite a bit, so we were able to see many stars, including the Milky Way, which was really great.直前まで雨が降っていて、現地でキャンセルになりそうでしたが、なんとか見ることができました。6人で予約しましたが雨のため2人はキャンセルしましたが新設に対応していただけました。実際は、天候もそこそこよくなったので天の川などたくさんの星をみることができてとてもよかったです。

I was worried that there would be many clouds after the typhoon, but I was truly moved by the beautiful starry sky. I was able to see the Milky Way with the naked eye, and I also spotted several shooting stars. The explanation from the guide was really great.

The area was completely dark and the ground was uneven, so I think sneakers are a good choice. The temperature has dropped, so a jacket is also necessary.
台風の後で雲も多く見れるか心配でしたが、本当にきれいな星空が見れて感動でした。
肉眼で天の川も見る事ができ、流れ星もいくつか見えました。
お兄さんの解説もすごく良かったです。

現地は真っ暗で足元も悪かったのでスニーカーがいいと思います。
気温も下がってきたので上着も必要です。
