In a 1995 national ministry survey, the town of Kamogawa was ranked the 5th best location for beautiful stargazing views. This evaluation provided the critical boost essential to establishing the Astro Cottage \u201cGalileo.\u201d The facility is divided into two sections facing each other across the main entrance hall. On the north side, there are two guest rooms; one 4.5 mat Japanese style room and one 8 mat western style room. The south side houses the celestial observatory. The computerized, 30-centimeter reflector telescope is set up within the observation dome on the second floor of the celestial observatory. It is possible to operate the telescope just by viewing the attached operation manual, but there is no need for beginners to worry because it is also possible to have a guide assist you if a reservation is made in advance. <\/p>\n<p class=\"mv_base\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibitabi.jp\/wp-content\/themes\/kibitabi\/images\/galileo_img01.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"mv_base\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibitabi.jp\/wp-content\/themes\/kibitabi\/images\/galileo_img02.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"mv_base\">The facility is also equipped with a kitchen so you may bring and prepare all your own meals. Each room can only be reserved by one group at a time so you can enjoy your own BBQ under the starry sky without any interruption. We recommend spending this one and only special time lying in the hilly grasslands gazing at the star sprinkled sky with family and friends. Distant stars can also be viewed with the telescope. There is a magnificent view from dusk until dawn, and depending on the season, the early morning sea of clouds can also paint an impressive scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mv_base\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibitabi.jp\/wp-content\/themes\/kibitabi\/images\/galileo_img03.jpg\"><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"data_box mv_base\">\n<h2>data<\/h2>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-6\">\n<ul>\n<li>\n<dl class=\"dl-horizontal\">\n<dt>Address<\/dt>\n<dd>1506-150 Shimogamo, Kibichuo-cho, Kaga-gun, Okayama Pref.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<dl class=\"dl-horizontal\">\n<dt>Phone<\/dt>\n<dd>0866-54-1301 Kyodo-Suishin Ka, Kibichuo Town<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<dl class=\"dl-horizontal\">\n<dt>Business hours<\/dt>\n<dd>15:00\uff5e10:00 of Next day<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<dl class=\"dl-horizontal\">\n<dt>Room rate<\/dt>\n<dd>Overnight rate 5,140 yen, Elementary school students and older &#8211; 1,030 yen<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-6\">\n<ul>\n<li>\n<dl class=\"dl-horizontal\">\n<dt>Telescope fee<\/dt>\n<dd>dome charge 2,060 yen, compact mobile 1,030 yen<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<dl class=\"dl-horizontal\">\n<dt>Capacity<\/dt>\n<dd>5 persons<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<dl class=\"dl-horizontal\">\n<dt>Access<\/dt>\n<dd>approximately 40 minutes by car from Sanyo Expressway, Okayama IC \/ approximately 30 minutes by car from Okayama Expressway, Kayo IC<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sub_gmap mv_base\" id=\"gmap\"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-3 side col-sm-pull-9\">\n<div class=\"cat_title\">\n<div class=\"top_line\"><span class=\"glay\"><\/span><span class=\"white\"><\/span><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"hidden-xs mv_base\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibitabi.jp\/wp-content\/themes\/kibitabi\/images\/midashi_zekkei_en2.svg\" class=\"img-responsive img-ow\"><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"visible-xs mv_base\">Encounter the Unusual Superb Views<\/h2>\n<div class=\"bottom_line\"><span class=\"glay\"><\/span><span class=\"white\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<ul class=\"list mv_base\">\n<li><a href=\"\/en\/zekkei\/galileo\/\">&#8211; Astro Cottage \u201cGALILEO\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/en\/zekkei\/jouba\/\">&#8211; Okayama Horseback Riding Club<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/en\/zekkei\/kibinomori\/\">&#8211; Kibinomori Botanical Garden<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Astro Cottage \u201cGALILEO\u201d Sitting atop the peak of a hill 370 meters above sea level this astronomical observato [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":299,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":"","_locale":"en_US","_original_post":"29"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kibitabi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/297"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kibitabi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kibitabi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kibitabi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kibitabi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=297"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.kibitabi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/297\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":999,"href":"https:\/\/www.kibitabi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/297\/revisions\/999"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kibitabi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kibitabi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
