Nagano Prefecture’s Achi Village was once ranked No. 1 in Japan as the place where the stars shine most brightly by Japan’s Ministry of the Environment (※1). Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the village is protected from light pollution, allowing you to enjoy a breathtakingly clear, star-filled sky.
During the Starry Sky Night Tour, ride a gondola up to the mountaintop at an altitude of 1,400 m. During the star-gazing session, all lights at the venue are switched off, revealing countless stars that seem close enough to touch. Enjoy a magical starry sky experience unlike anything you can experience in the city!
※1) In 2006, Achi Village was selected as No. 1 among locations suitable for stargazing in the Ministry of the Environment’s nationwide Star Watching Network survey. It also received the Minister of the Environment Award (Group Award) at the 29th Nagano Prefecture Minamimaki Village Competition in 2017.
※ Temperatures at the mountaintop can be extremely cold due to the high altitude. Please prepare warm clothing.
※ Stargazing takes place while seated on the grass. We recommend bringing a mat or ground sheet to sit on.
