It’s a serene place in the countryside, I really appreciated the planetarium & observatory experience there. The staff and the owner are all very nice, they will help you with anything you need.
My room was so big, I couldn’t believe it. The bathroom was bigger than some hotel rooms in Tokyo.

Quirky and remote property from the Showa era that evokes Ghibli-esque charm. The weather was cold and rainy but our stay at one of the cabins was warm and comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were varied and delicious. Staff spoke English. Highly recommend!

It was our first time to visit Aso and we had no idea where to stay. But coincidentally we found out this place and it was the highlight of our trip.
The place is located in Minami Aso, southern part of Aso and features stargazing. They own a planetarium, private observatory and large garden to observe stars. On top of cozy and lovely accomodations.
Staff are very nice, professional and enthusiastic about stars, space, and the room was large and cozy with a decoy fireplace, a big bathtub, beds & a sofa. And both their dinner and breakfast were amazingly well prepared and delicious.
We also could participate in an exclusive stargazing tour at night, which started from planetarium, then go to the observatory to see the moon, mars, Jupiter then, checking it by our eyes in the garden with campfire and hot drinks.
This is really worth visiting if you like stargazing, and i highly recommend the experience they provide. Wish to visit again when we come back to Japan.
Thank you for the fantastic experience.

Great, unique place, but no dinner for me!
This was a very special experience, and the stargazing was unlike anything I've ever done. However, arriving at the hotel and being told there was no way for me to eat dinner at the restaurant because I hadn't booked 3 days in advance left a bitter taste in my mouth. If you're going to have a rule like that, please MAKE IT CLEAR in your booking details, or with a separate message to those who have booked. It seemed like everyone there knew this except for me (everyone else was Japanese, leading me to believe whatever Japanese booking website they used actually makes this clear). I was forced to hire a cab to take me to 7 Eleven while gazing in at the dining room where everyone else was serenely eating a multicourse meal, and it was maddening.
유럽식의 고풍스러운 인테리어와 클래식한 식사가 아주 유니크한 숙박 경험을 줍니다. 라운지 공간에 굉장히 많은 천문학 서적이 있는 것도 심상치 않은데 본격적인 플라네타리움과 깜짝 놀랄만한 진짜 돔형 천문대와 망원경을 경험할 수 있는 별보기 체험이 잊지 못할 추억을 만들어주었습니다.
