Tanegashima Space Art Festival, “Star Cave 2018” 2018/11/22～24 Tanegashima, Chikura Grotto

We will participate in the Space Art Tanegashima Festival this year as well.

This year, the Super Planetarium will start operation earlier (from 9 pm). New things are “Starry Sky Terrace” where families can enjoy the surrounding beach before planetarium show start, and “Falling Star Cave” bar space where adults can enjoy late time!

It is a night event held inside the “Chikura Grotto” which is a tourist attraction representing Tanegashima island. MEGASTAR-II shines brightly on rocks of a huge wind cave shaped over thousands of years, and it combines with a sound of surging waves, and a fantastic microcosm emerges.
Takayuki Ohira’s talk show and photo contest will be held.

Also, as a related event, Takayuki Ohira’s talk show will be held by the Tanegashima University.

Because of the tide, Chikura Grotto can be entered only for about two hours per day, during low tide. Besides, night hours low tide is quite rare throughout the year. When low tide and night hours overlap, a masterpiece created by Mother Nature and state-of-the-art technology come together into a mysterious space.
