• Commemorative starry sky photo shoot by a starry sky photographer
• A starry sky photographer with extensive experience in photographing the starry sky will take special commemorative photos with a star-filled sky as a backdrop. The twinkling of the stars and the Milky Way, invisible to the naked eye, will be captured in a beautiful photograph. Even first-timers can feel at ease as they will be carefully supported with posing and positioning during the photo shoot. This starry sky experience, unique to Hoshinavi, will leave you with memories of your trip that you can look back on any time, rather than just "just for the moment."
• Star commentary by a starry sky master
• On Hoshinavi's starry sky tours, experienced "starry sky masters" will guide you through the stars that unfold in the sky that day in an easy-to-understand and fun way. They will explain the origins of stars and constellations, seasonal highlights, and even Okinawa's star-related culture and mythology, so everyone, from adults to children, will be drawn into the starry sky. It's not just about "looking," but about a memorable starry sky experience on a quiet, dark beach.
• Observing the moon and planets through a telescope
• Using an astronomical telescope, you can closely observe the world of the moon and planets that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Experience the unevenness of the moon's craters and the changing appearance of Jupiter and Saturn depending on the season, accompanied by commentary from a starry sky master. Saturn, with its visible rings, is the most popular planet. We will carefully support you in operating and viewing the telescope so that even those looking through it for the first time can enjoy it with confidence. It is a special moment that will transform space from a "distant world" to a "real experience."
