Directions

Hateruma Island Starry Sky Observation Tower offers a stunning view of the galaxy from the southernmost point of Japan. As the sun sets, visitors can enjoy the clear skies and absence of light pollution, making it the perfect spot for stargazing. The Southern Cross can even be seen with the naked eye from late December to mid-June. The beach of this island is one of the most beautiful ones I have ever seen in Japan. You can enjoy the amazingly clear water in the sea doing scuba diving! Don't miss out on this magical experience on Hateruma Island!
