✨ Mount Kono (Yamazoe Village, Nara Pref.) ⛰️✨
Mt. Kono is one of the best stargazing spots in the Kansai region, where you can encounter a night sky so full of stars it feels like they are falling on you. Actually, this is a mysterious place where ancient cosmic romance can be found not just up in the sky, but also right on the ground!
Surprisingly, the arrangement of the giant stones scattered along Nabekura-kei (Nabekura Valley)—a "river of rocks" on the mountainside—is said to match the alignment of the Milky Way, the Summer Triangle, Scorpius, and other constellations from about 4,000 years ago. It truly is like a "planetarium on earth."
Now solar lights illuminate Nabekura-kei after dark until August 30th.
Why not visit Mount Kono this summer and experience its mystical atmosphere? 🌌🔭
