[1 group per day] Starlit Sauna Hidden Private Lodging/20-minute drive from Morioka Station/Private Retreat Twinkle Stars
A short drive from the city of Morioka."Twinkle Stars", a private rental inn standing alone on a mountain.Here, we escape from everyday life and enjoy our own special time. Outside the inn, there is a spacious, large wooden deck measuring approximately 350 m².There is a sense of openness unique to the top of a mountain, and at night you can leisurely enjoy the vast expanse of sky and a sky full of stars.Another unique charm of this property is that the stars seem to twinkle even more beautifully because the city lights are far away. At night, the area around the deck is softly illuminated, creating a magical atmosphere in contrast with the pitch-black darkness that surrounds it.In spring, the cherry blossoms bloom, and spending time there while enjoying the scenery is exceptional.Surrounded by clear air and soft lighting, enjoy a moment where you can forget about your daily routine. You can also enjoy a campfire, but there is a fee for its use, and you must consult with us.Please contact us in advance if you wish to do so. There is also an outdoor barrel sauna that can be enjoyed under the stars.The time spent "getting back in shape" in nature makes the stay even more special. A private getaway where no one will disturb you.Have a memorable evening with "Twinkle Stars" surrounded by a wide open sky and a sky full of stars.
