Events

At Midagahara Hotel, we hold special events out of our desire to show everybody the nature, history, and culture of Tateyama across the fours seasons.

Stargazing

In stargazing, a special lecturer from the Toyama Prefecture Astronomical Society will lead us in the observation of the starry night sky using an astronomical telescope. This will be accompanied by a lecture on how to observe the stars, interlaced with various stories concerning the starry sky in different seasons. Even those who have never gone stargazing before can enjoy it. Let's enjoy a special night in the "A highlands resort in the clouds" together with the Milky Way and a shooting star.
