I can't get over how much I love seeing pictures of the stars from Japan. It's a completely different sky than back where I'm from. On top of that the weeping cherry blossoms are just indescribably beautiful as well. It looks like this is Okkazuma in Yamanashi Prefecture. The area seems to have some really awesome scenery. Rice fields and stuff too perhaps. It looks like it'd be a really cool place to go sightseeing or cherry blossoms viewing during the next season (or if you can get there now I suppose). I bet you could bring a telescope as well and probably see some beautiful stars if this is any indication of how clear the sky is.
