This is the top astronomical observatory in Japan. It is equipped with a 95-cm reflecting telescope and a 150-inch large screen high-definition television. Visitors to this well-equipped observatory can actually touch an iron meteorite and get on the space scale to see how much they would weigh in outer space. In fine weather, they can even look at the stars during the daytime.
