Starry Sky Observation
In Okinawa, the air is clearer and there are fewer nearby light sources making it easier to see the stars. Why not take some time to look up into the sky and enjoy the stars? At this event you can enjoy learning about the constellations from a star guide. They will teach you how to find stars and familiar landmarks in the sky so that you can compare it to what you see in your hometown.
