A Celestial Feast at Sunshine 60 Observatory
From September 24th to 27th, Tokyo's Sunshine 60 observatory invites you to a stunning celestial event named "TenTai Park 2026", celebrating the Mid-Autumn Moon and the full Corn Moon. This unique experience unfolds in the vibrant surroundings of the observatory, adorned with the brilliant hues of autumn leaves.
Experience Autumn's Beauty
The TenTai Park at Sunshine 60 transforms into a glorious space, encapsulating the essence of autumn. The observatory will feature beautifully decorated interiors showcasing colorful fall foliage, with aromas of fragrant orange and silver grass filling the air. As guests take in the stunning skyline from an elevation of 251 meters, the soothing sounds of autumn serenade their senses.
Make sure to mark your calendars: On September 25th, the "Mid-Autumn Moon" will grace the skies, and visitors can gaze through high-quality telescopes set up within the venue, observing the moon’s ethereal beauty.
Corn Moon Showcase
On September 27th, the observatory will host a special showcase of the "Corn Moon", where a mirrorless camera will be attached to a telescope, projecting the grandeur of this celestial wonder onto a large screen. Attendees will have the extraordinary chance to witness the moon's craters up close and personal, as well as view the close encounter of the Corn Moon with Saturn, both illuminating the night sky.
Guests can enjoy themed cafe offerings at the TenTai Park Cafe, including a limited-time Matcha Latte adorned with rabbit silhouettes—a feast not only for the eyes but for the palate as well.
Interactive Learning Experience
For amateur astronomers, the event isn't just about watching—it's about learning too! Join the photography workshop where you can learn techniques to capture the moon's beauty using your smartphone or camera. Bring home a piece of this celestial event by snapping stunning shots of the moon from the observatory's height.
Special Menu and Refreshments
From September 19th to 27th, the TenTai Park Cafe rolls out limited edition autumn-inspired treats available only during the event. Indulge in the delighted TenTai Hill Latte—an exquisite drink perfect for moon gazing—alongside the Corn Moon combo featuring delicious corn-flavored bread paired with creamy cheese and hearty corn soup.
Gaze Beyond the Moon
Interestingly, the Mid-Autumn Moon doesn't always coincide with a full moon. It falls on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, renowned for being a time when the air is clear, allowing the moon to shine its brightest, a practice cherished since ancient times.
This year, the Corn Moon is aptly named for the time when corn is harvested. Join us as we revive this tradition, which emphasizes the beauty of the harvest season. At Sunshine 60, accredited as one of Japan's Hundred Famous Moons, you have the perfect setting to celebrate this celestial phenomenon.

To enhance this celestial experience, we are offering special ticket packages that allow you to enjoy both the Mid-Autumn Moon and the Corn Moon on chosen dates within the event window. Tickets purchased on September 24th and 25th grant you much-added savings compared to regular pricing.
