Stargazing and snacks by double-decker open-top bus

*Footage of the tour will be taken and used for advertising purposes (SNS, pamphlets, etc.), so please understand this before participating.

Depart from downtown Naha on Okinawa’s only double-decker open-top bus. Enjoy the glittering view of Naha city seen from the second floor of a no roofed bus, until we arrive at Cape Chinen in Nanjo City, where the lights around us disappeared and a sky full of stars spread out.

During the day, Cape Chinen is known as one of the most scenic spots in the south, offering a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, but at night, a different world of spectacular scenery appears, and beyond that lies Kudaka Island, the island of the gods.

During the tour, we will provide commentary that can be enjoyed as nighttime entertainment rather than learning, including observation points and interesting anecdotes related to stars.

Relax in a reclining chair and enjoy a luxurious night with Okinawa’s 3-star Orion beer and local specialty snacks.
