Ishigaki Island has Ishigakijima Observatory which was established in 2006 at the top of Maesedake, the highest mountain in Japan. Ishigakijima Observatory is equipped with \"Murikabushi Telescope\" which is the largest telescope in Kyushu and Okinawa with an aperture of 105cm. Star gazing through the Murikabushi Telescope provides a beautiful starry sky. During stargazing, you can listen to a star commentary by an expert of the Yaeyama Starry Sky Society. In addition to stargazing, there is the Starry Sky Learning Room where visitors can experience the starry sky during the daytime. You can experience the three-dimensional images of the universe for free anytime while Ishigakijima Observatory is open.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17940\" src=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P7087137-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"Ishigakijima Observatory\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P7087137-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P7087137-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P7087137-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P7087137-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P7087137-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P7087137-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The reason why Ishigakijima Observatory was established on Ishigaki Island is related to its unique atmospheric conditions.
