Night Sky View - Kiso Observatory, Japan

Watch a live night sky view from Kiso Observatory in Nagano Prefecture, Japan, operated by the University of Tokyo. This real-time camera faces the observatory’s telescope dome and surrounding sky, providing 24/7 monitoring of celestial conditions above a mountainous region of central Japan.

The observatory hosts the 105-centimetre Kiso Schmidt Telescope, equipped with advanced instruments designed to detect meteors, transient light events, and other short-lived astronomical phenomena. On clear nights, stars and occasional meteors may be visible, while cloud cover, moonlight, and weather conditions strongly influence visibility.
