I am happy that my articles for the Japanese travel book Chikyu-no-Arukikata’s website had successfully completed and accessible online.
http://www.arukikata.co.nz/feature/local-report/dunedin.html
It contains tons of topics around auroras and other interesting astronomical phenomena that can be observed in New Zealand and it is aimed to introduce the beauty of the night sky in New Zealand to Japanese travellers.
For all Japanese readers, I hope you enjoy.
Each episode of the article is also accessible from here.

Chikyu-No-Arukikata translates to “How to Walk this Planet” and it’s a major Japanese overseas travel guidebook that’s been around for 35 years. It is the Japanese-version of “Lonely Planet” (ref: http://travel-ad.com/index_en.html) and I am grateful to introduce Dunedin and its surroundings as a wonderful destination to the Japanese travellers.
