🌌Achi Village, Nagano | A night trip in the sky, surrounded by a starry sky
Achi Village is known as the "village with the most beautiful starry sky in Japan," and is a hidden gem in southern Nagano Prefecture.
The beauty of the starry sky, certified by the Ministry of the Environment, is overwhelming, and the night tour at "Heaven's Sonohara" is a moving experience that you should visit at least once in your life.
If you take the gondola up to the plateau at an altitude of 1,400m, you will see a starry sky like a planetarium above your head.
In winter, the clear air makes the sky even clearer, and in summer it is also popular as a summer resort. During the day, you can enjoy hot springs and soba-making experiences, so you can enjoy it as a day trip or overnight stay.
