You could argue that the busy, crowded city of Osaka, with its glaring neon lights, is one of the least suitable locations for observing stars.
But one cafe owner would disagree. Thirty-year-old Keisuke Yamaguchi says it is possible to see a wide range of stars right in the city center.
The Osaka native runs hoshicafe SPICA, a cosmos-themed cafe-cum-bar, where stargazers gather every night. He is also an accomplished astronomy guide able to teach customers about stars and how to enjoy them in the night sky.
