(The week around the new moon is recommended.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are no industrial areas on Miyako Island, and the air is clean because it is surrounded by rich nature,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many spots to watch the best starry skies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The starry sky is especially beautiful on cold winter nights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can see the beautiful starry sky, which is so beautiful that it is hard to believe that you are in Japan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Seeing the starry sky like you have never seen before on Miyako Island will surely be a memory you will cherish forever!<\/p>\n<p>Here, I would like to introduce the starry sky
