【Starry Sky Watching for Parents and Children】 Let's enjoy the total lunar eclipse at the Hina Matsuri
On March 3, 2026, a total lunar eclipse can be observed throughout Japan at night.
The hotel is also far from the city and has little extra light, so it is recommended for observation.
Why don't you use astronomical telescope to experience the total lunar eclipse with your family?
A total lunar eclipse is a state in which the entire moon enters the shadow of the earth, and the moon does not become dark and shines in red copper.
The moon begins to lack at around 18:50 in the eastern sky, and becomes a total eclipse at 20:04.
The total eclipse moon looks red and black, called "shakudoiro". After the total eclipse, the missing part gradually decreases, and the partial eclipse ends in the southeastern sky.
The total lunar eclipse seen throughout Japan is the first since September 8, 2025, so why not observe it with your family?
Next, it seems that the total lunar eclipse will be seen throughout Japan on January 1, 2029, so don't miss this opportunity!
