The Kunimi Star Party (Nasukarasuyama City, Tochigi Prefecture) began using the astronomical facilities at the Nagamine Visitor Center in Kunimi in 2015, and held an astronomical observatory four times a year to learn about the beauty of the stars.
The facilities in the back of the mountain were far from the city and there were few general spectators, so from 2019 we changed the location to Karasuyama station square.
Although it was a bright place with street lamps, children and parents in the neighborhood came to peep and regular customers came. However, in April 2020, the visitor center was decided to close, and the telescope at the facility could not be used.
Our modest meeting has ended. It was a loose activity for 5 years, but thank you.
