Located on the border between Nara and Mie prefectures, Mount Ōdaigahara 大台ヶ原山 is known among outdoor enthusiasts and photographers for its beautiful vistas changing with the seasons: gorgeous cherry blossoms in spring and colorful displays of autumn leaves.
Free from traffic and urban sprawl, Mount Ōdaigahara's pristine air and ideal location also offer wonderful opportunities for stargazing. Take a look at the starry sky taken by amateur Japanese photographer 関岡大晃 Hiroaki Sekioka (@hirography_321).
