Spread in the beautiful forest, this is a major astronomical observatory located on-site of Rurikei hot springs in the Rurikei highlands. At the planetarium, you can lie down and observe programs of four seasons or the starry sky of Rurikei; at the exhibit space, there is an imitation of the moon sand and a motif of the moon that changes the form by time. Moreover, there is a private astronomical observatory dome with a telescope, which will let you jump automatically to the star you would like to see just by clicking the PC. It is recommended to enjoy with family or group.
