Just a 3-hour bus ride from Tokyo 🚍, Achi Village in Nagano Prefecture is renowned as the best place in Japan to view the stars. Here, we introduce a recommended hotel to stay at after enjoying the night sky ✨.
📍Address:
503-115 Chisato, Achi Village, Shimoina District, Nagano Prefecture
🏖 Atmosphere/Facilities:
- Banquet hall, karaoke rooms, and open-air baths available
- Smoking area located in the courtyard with beautiful views
- Vending machines and a shop (including cup noodles 🍜)
👍 Pros:
- The hot springs are spacious and of excellent quality, a must-visit twice a day♨️
(It's said that just one soak can make your skin feel three years younger! 😂)
- Despite being a traditional inn, it is well-maintained and clean.
- The nearby Achigawa River provides a cool breeze in summer.
👎 Cons:
- Breakfast and dinner portions are on the smaller side.
- The futons are thin, and it can get cold at night.
(Warming up thoroughly in the hot springs is the only solution!)
- Only two elevators, so there can be a bit of a wait.
Average Price: From 15,000 yen~
Rating: ★★★/3
