New Views! 冬の夜の風物詩、ふたご座流星群を先取り

Shooting stars glow and disappear for a brief moment in the star-filled sky. The Gemini meteor shower, which colors the winter nights, has finally been added to Atmoph Window 2. These beautiful Views were filmed at Onigajo in Kumano, Mie Prefecture.

Onigajo is a stair-stepped castle formed by the uplift of a sea cave eroded by the waves of the Kumano Sea due to an earthquake. This scenic spot, with its unique rock formations stretching about 1.2 km, lets you enjoy powerful scenery created by nature. It is an old saying in Japan, "If you make a wish while a shooting star is shining, it will come true." It might be nice to try it tonight with a shooting star from your window.

New Views:

  • Meteor Shower in Kumano 2 (Mie)
  • Mt. Seekofel of Dolomites 1 (Trentino-Alto Adige)
  • Royal Hawaiian Avenue 1 (Oahu, Hawaii)
  • Apiary at Malaga 1 (Andalusia)

NEW! Added Views of Drift Ice on Sea of Okhotsk

Cape Puyuni, which juts out into the vast Sea of Okhotsk, is located a little to the northeast of the Utoro area, the base for Shiretoko sightseeing. From the observation deck near the cape, you can see the center of the Utoro area, the landmark Oronko Rock, and the Sea of Okhotsk stretching out as far as the eye can see. The drift ice of the Sea of Okhotsk reaches its peak every year from mid-February to early March. On this clear day, you can clearly see the drift ice filling Utoro Fishing Port and the coast from the observation deck. Enjoy the beautiful contrast between the blue sky, sea, and pure white drift ice, and the refreshing cold air that seems to be transmitted to you, from the comfort of your own warm room.
