Starry Sky & Meteor Shower Live

A Window on Japan's Dark Skies

This live stream broadcasts from the hills near the Takikawa Gorge in Yamatsuri, a celebrated dark-sky location in northern Japan. Set far from major city lights, it offers a remarkably clear window onto stars, planets and meteor showers as they cross the heavens.

What the Camera Sees

The lens points toward the south-western sky, framed by the wooded ridge of Mount Karou. Above the silhouetted mountain horizon stretches an open canopy of constellations and the Milky Way, with shooting stars streaking across the frame.

Meteor Showers & Night-Sky Events

Operated by Asahi Astro LIVE, this dedicated astronomy feed is aimed at capturing meteor showers and other astronomical events. Each shower sends brilliant trails of light arcing above the peaceful wooded peaks.

Viewing Experience

This is a tranquil, contemplative view of one of Japan's great stargazing valleys, where the wide mountain skies feel endless. Settle in and let the cosmos over Fukushima unfold above the quiet ridgeline of Yamatsuri.
