Where the Stars Touch the Earth

Located in the northern part of Okinawa's main island, Okuma offers one of the best vantage points for astrophotographers and stargazers alike. Thanks to the low light pollution in this region, the night sky reveals a tapestry of shimmering stars, planets, and even the stunning Milky Way. For those who have only ever seen the Milky Way in photographs or videos, witnessing it first-hand is an unforgettable experience. It's as if the galaxy itself is laying a bridge between heaven and earth.

Why Okuma?

The north of Okinawa remains relatively undeveloped compared to the bustling southern parts. This means fewer buildings, fewer lights, and therefore, clearer skies. Okuma, being situated away from dense cityscapes, benefits from this geographical advantage. Additionally, the clean air and often cloudless skies of Okuma further enhance the star-gazing experience.
