Arcturus star tours
アークトゥルスGuideYoron-jima
Arcturus runs private stargazing tours on Yoron led by a certified star sommelier, from ¥3,300 a person for an hour with free pickup, and children of junior-high age and under go free.
The shortest plan is pitched at people heading home from dinner or an izakaya, and the guide collects you from the restaurant and drops you back at your inn. Each booking is private for up to eight people. On the longest plan you get star photos to take home.
Yoron's small size keeps the drives short, and the guide works until midnight. Book on the website or by phone on 080-3594-9877, and pay in cash if you book by phone.
