Fujimidai Highlands, Stargazing highland in Achi and Nakatsugawa, Japan.

The Fujimidai Highlands extend across the Kiso Mountains at 1400 meters elevation, offering dark skies and specialized observation facilities for astronomers and visitors.

The Japanese Ministry of Environment recognized Achi as the primary location for star observation in 2006, leading to the development of Star Village Achi.

The Star Village Achi facility maintains regular sky shows featuring laser-guided constellation tours and astronomical education programs throughout the year.

Visitors can reach the observation area via ropeway between 5:00 PM and 7:30 PM, with tours requiring advance reservations at least two weeks beforehand.

The facility includes a cosmic-themed restaurant where lights dim at 8 PM for a 30-minute astronomy show highlighting visible stars through laser demonstrations.
