The Experience
Welcome to Mt. Onidake！ The iconic symbol of the Goto Islands! Rising 315 meters above sea level, this beautifully curved volcano is completely covered in lush green grass—contrasting wonderfully with its fierce name (meaning "Demon Mountain"). Every two years, a controlled mountain burning is held to maintain its stunning silhouette. While its daytime scenery is spectacular, Mt. Onidake takes on a magical, majestic presence after dark.
Live Guided Stargazing Under the Open Sky! Your jaws will drop at the sight of countless stars blanketing the night sky (available on clear nights only). Seeing a cosmos of stars like you've never experienced before is truly breathtaking. The Milky Way, and depending on the season, even Saturn and Jupiter, can often be clearly seen with the naked eye. Our guide will use the real night sky as a canvas to introduce the constellations born from Greek mythology.
