About this event
Held at the renowned Hattasan Soneiji Temple in Fukuroi City, Shizuoka Prefecture, "Hoshimitsuru Yoru" is a one-night-only event where visitors can gaze at a star-filled sky in a special atmosphere with the temple grounds' lights dimmed. Because city lights hardly reach Hattasan, you can fully enjoy a beautiful starry sky that cannot usually be seen. At Hattasan, a Shingon Esoteric Buddhist temple with deep historical ties to the stars, you can spend a peaceful time reflecting on the stars that have watched over people since ancient times. Astronomical observation classes, food stalls, workshops, and more are scheduled on the day, making it an event where you can enjoy a special experience on a night when the signs of autumn begin to drift in.
