Go on a digital journey to Okinawa’s Iriomote Island through this new film shown at Tokyo’s Konica Minolta planetariums in Yurakucho and Tokyo Skytree Town. Iriomote belongs to the remote Yaeyama Islands and is known for its beautiful starry night sky. 'Night Flower' focuses on the island’s rich jungle-like nature, including sagaribana, a tropical flower that only blooms for a single night, as well as constellations captured directly from the island, featuring the Milky Way, Centaurus and others.
Thanks to the immersive dome theatre’s stereophonic sound system, you’ll be able to catch the smallest sounds, such as the chirping of birds and rustling leaves, which makes it feel like an authentic trip to Japan’s southernmost prefecture. The movie is narrated by model and actor Taishi Nakagawa, however, an English audio guide is also available.
