Hotel Achigawa in the Starry Village

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
