World renowned star photographer and creator KAGAYA will be returning to the Fukuoka City Science Museum Dome Theater with a new, improved, and extended global version of his popular Star Trip photo show.

Visiting such places as Tekapo Lake in New Zealand, Mauna Kea Mountain in Hawaii, and the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia, KAGAYA spent 3 years photographing the starry night skies from some of Earth’s most scenic locations. Using the projector of the Fukuoka City Science Museum Dome Theater these photos take on a realistic ambience, making it feel as if you were there in person with their breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views.

In this new global edition, the entirety of the original show has been remastered and made even more beautiful. This extended cut will also include previously unreleased footage that weaves together the memories of the journey in an even more profound way.

This show will instantly transport you on a journey around the world beneath the starry skies.
