Considering for observation place of total solar-eclipse,July 22, 2009 in Japan.



Continuance time of total eclipse

Based on this standpoint ,the best place is Akusekijima where is part of Tokara islands.
In Akusekijima,we can watch total-eclipse in 6 minutes 25 seconds. But only tour members of "Kinki Nippon Tourist" can visit Tokara islands (that contains Akusekijima) on July 22, 2009. So if we want to watch solar-eclipse in Akusekijima,we must join their tour.
In south of Yakushima,we can also watch it in 4 minutes or more.
In north of Amami-Ohshima,we can also watch it in 4 minutes or less.
