Mercure Tottori Daisen Resort & Spa Launches Limited-Time 'Star Park' to Offer Stargazing Experiences for Spring Family Travel

Mercure Tottori Daisen Resort & Spa (Location: Hoki-cho, Saihaku-gun, Tottori Prefecture / General Manager: Masaya Oshiro), located in Tottori Prefecture—often called the 'Starry Prefecture' because the Milky Way can be seen from almost every municipality in the prefecture—is opening a 'Star Park' on its hotel grounds. Aiming to make stargazing an experience that anyone can easily enjoy without specialized knowledge of constellations or celestial bodies, the hotel has prepared three all-inclusive contents. By providing items to relax and view the stars, a planetarium inside a dome tent, and a stargazing event with a star specialist, the hotel aims to enhance the value of the stay and create lasting memories of Tottori. [Opening Period] March 20, 2026 (Fri) – May 6, 2026 (Wed). [Location] Mercure Tottori Daisen Resort & Spa grounds (backyard).

Casual Stargazing: Reclining chairs are set up in the backyard, with binoculars and star charts available for rent. 2. Planetarium in a Dome Tent: A dome tent projects constellations onto the ceiling. On clear nights, the top can be partially opened to view real stars. 3. Stargazing Event with a Specialist: Held on May 5, 2026, featuring a local star expert to explain the Lyrid meteor shower and spring constellations. In addition to stargazing, the hotel offers seasonal local menus, including 'Sazae no Tsuboyaki' (grilled turban shell) and 'Wagyu Beef Tofu' using local soy sauce, as well as 'Tottori Kotoura Grand Salmon' sushi, enhancing the culinary experience for guests.
