Haruki Inayama
Haruki Inayama has been fascinated by the mysteries of the universe ever since he observed celestial bodies through a telescope he received in elementary school. He majored in optical design at the Department of Optics in university. After working as an astronomical facility commentator at the Mitaka Campus of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, he joined Sightron Japan Inc. in 2020. Currently, he works at the "Schmidt" astronomical telescope store, where he uses his extensive experience to assist customers. His motto is, "I like to look up at the stars, and it is more fun if we all look up at the stars together."

 

This year, in particular, there will be many celestial shows, including meteor showers and the approaching Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan - ATLAS), which was discovered last year. If you are interested, please refer to the Astronomical Calendar below and consider staying at Kitaone Kogen Highland.
