From Yunodai Plateau or a Boat on Lake Towada, with Champagne in Hand.
Hoshino Resorts Oirase Keiryu Hotel is the only resort hotel located within Towada-Hachimantai National Park and built along the Oirase Gorge. Situated amidst abundant nature, including mountains, lakes, and streams, and away from residential areas, it is shielded from light pollution, leading to the creation of a plan that takes advantage of this ideal environment for star gazing.
Summer celestial observation in Oirase is ideal because the weather is pleasant for outdoor activities and the upper winds are weak. This minimizes the scattering of starlight as it passes through the atmosphere, allowing for clear observation of celestial bodies. "Hoshi no Full Course," which offers views of the dazzling starry sky and the beautiful Milky Way, appearing only in summer and strewn vertically, is a plan limited to one group per day. Participants can enjoy a leisurely time with champagne in hand while receiving explanations about constellations, how to use a telescope, and tips for viewing.
There are two course options: one utilizing a telescope at Yunodai Plateau in the Hakkoda Mountains, and another where you are surrounded by stars while on a boat in the center of Lake Towada.
"Hoshi no Full Course" allows you to fully appreciate the starry sky amidst the magnificent scale created by nature. It is also perfect for celebrating special occasions such as wedding anniversaries and birthdays.
