Starry Night in Nikko

When it comes to nighttime activities in Japan, while it is nice to enjoy the neon lights and their scenery in the city, it can't quite compare to enjoying the stars in the midst of nature.

With a high altitude and little to no light polution, Nikko makes for the perfect locaton to go stargazing, within just an hour or so of Tokyo! 
The Nikko City Tourism Association has prepared 5 beautiful types of “Star Cards”, available in different places throughout Nikko. By scanning the codes codes printed on the back of these cards, you can listen and learn the story behind each location and its stars.

You can listen to the introductory audio and check out more information including distribution spots from following website:
