class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Iriomote Island is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Okinawa Prefecture.<br \/>\nMany of you may know it as an impressive island with a large forest covering the island and the blue sea surrounding it.<br \/>\nAs the best part of such Iriomote Island sightseeing, you may have a strong impression of daytime fun, such as enjoying activities and exploring the island.<br \/>\nHowever, the charm of Iriomote Island is not limited to daytime.<br \/>\nOn this island, you will encounter a spectacular natural night view that you will not find anywhere else.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E8%A5%BF%E8%A1%A8%E5%B3%B6%E3%81%AF%E3%81%A9%E3%81%93%E3%81%AB%E3%81%82%E3%82%8B%EF%BC%9F\"><\/span>Where is Iriomote Island?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Iriomote Island is located about 440 km southwest of the main island of Okinawa, where Naha City is located.<br \/>\nIt belongs to the same Yaeyama Islands as Ishigaki Island, a popular resort destination.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

height=\"480\" \/><br \/>\nIriomote Island is characterized by the fact that 90% of the island is covered with forests.<br \/>\nIriomote Island is called the \"Galapagos of the East\" because of its many precious plants and animals, including the Iriomote wildcat, which is a special natural treasure.<br \/>\nThe roads that have been built on the island do not go all the way around the island, due to the fact that the forests have not been cut down or developed in order to protect this rare environment even from a global perspective.<br \/>\nBecause of this, there are almost no streetlights on the island, and at night the entire island is enveloped in a darkness that is hard to imagine in modern times.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

sky of Iriomote Island is truly a natural planetarium.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned above, the island is pitch black at night, so the night view is the exact opposite of artificial city lights.<br \/>\nLooking up at the night sky from the darkness of the ground, one can witness a natural planetarium depicted in the sky.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The lineup of constellations visible in the skies of the northern and southern hemispheres changes drastically.<br \/>\nTypical examples are the Big Dipper and the Southern Cross.<br \/>\nBasically, the Big Dipper is familiar as a constellation that can be seen only in the northern hemisphere sky, while the Southern Cross is visible only in the southern hemisphere sky.<br \/>\nHowever, exceptionally, both the Big Dipper and the Southern Cross can be seen on Iriomote Island depending on the season.<br \/>\nThe latitude of 24 degrees north is a good advantage, and from Iriomote Island, we can see as many as 84 of the 88 types of constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union as constellations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E5%88%9D%E6%98%9F%E7%A9%BA%E4%BF%9D%E8%AD%B7%E5%8C%BA%E3%81%AB%E6%8C%87%E5%AE%9A\"><\/span>Designated

smoke on a large scale.<br \/>\nThe air is therefore very clear and contains little dust, making it possible to clearly see starlight.<br \/>\nIriomote Island was designated as Japan's first starry sky reserve by the International Dark Sky Association of the U.S. because of the perfect combination of two conditions: a low-light environment and a latitude that allows a wide view of the night sky.<br \/>\nThe splendor of the starry heavens of Iriomote Island is internationally recognized.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
