This Observatory is a little difficult to get to from Tokyo but its totally worth the trip. The trek up the mountain to the observatory is fun. But air is a little light, so tread carefully. Approaching the building is exciting, the outside of the premises has constellation themed structures. I know them from many Japanese tv programs, but seeing them in person was way cooler. The observatory features a very inexpensive tour of the museum floor that will take you up to their telescope that has been in operation since 1997. You can also walk around the outside of its dome and get a wonderful view of the structures outside and all the surrounding towns. A must see if you are in Gunma or passing through, Please visit this location for some great views and educational adventure.

This national facility hosts two large telescopes which the public can get a view of the night sky through on throughout the week. During the day there are tours of the large telescopes and the exhibits outside. There are also interesting exhibits about the work of astronomy which will inspire any 10 year old child. It's a 10 minute walk from the car park to the domes along a scale model of the solar system. Bear bells for your safety are provided. There is an intercom for requesting a ride up the hill for those that cannot cope with steps. It's a lovely place with friendly and accommodating staff who aren't afraid of trying to speak with foreigners (in Japanese). There's space to eat a pack lunch (no food sold on site, but there are drinks machines). Groups can book private nights with the on-site smaller telescopes. This is a small but very well run facility. For the day time you'd need 2-3 hours.
wow whata place ...... Nice.... Cool....
長い階段を登っていると所々に 熊よけの鐘が置いてあり スタート地点の案内板には 熊に遭遇した時の対処法が書いてありスリルまんてん 館内はただ星座の写真が展示しているだけで職員の器具説明もなにもなく! 施設内に広い駐車場があるのに 一般人は下の駐車場に止めさせ スリルまんてんの長い階段をわざわざのぼらせなくていいのでは 弱者に配慮した運営を願いたい 群馬県知事さん(安倍総理応援団長) 施設内に車椅子あるが見せかけですか (笑) 役人らしい発想(つじつま合わせ) 車椅子使う人が急な階段登れるの?(笑)
のどかな良い場所にあります。 天文講話のお話しをして頂き火星や明けの明星、宵の明星等の説明をスクリーンを通して教えてもらい勉強になりました。 また行きたいです。
