Be seduced by the starry sky and the highland breeze and enjoy a sense of unity with nature.
Take a stroll through the approximately 5mXNUMX site while admiring the majestic Mt. Aso. The hotel has staff members who are certified star sommeliers and starry sky guides, and after a lecture on the seasonal starry sky and the stars visible that day, you can actually go outside and take a starry sky walk.
There are no other hotels or shops around the hotel, so it is pitch black, making it the perfect location to enjoy the starry sky. Each group will bring a flashlight and stargazing will take place within the hotel's spacious grounds. Stargazing with detailed commentary will be an experience of a lifetime.
Relax in the baths and enjoy the spectacular view.
The sense of freedom is so great that you may hesitate to enter, which is what we are most proud of. The neutral simple hot spring water is soft to the touch, has no unpleasant taste, and is gentle on the body. It is hard to get sick from the water, so anyone from babies to the elderly can take a relaxing bath without worry.
Our open-air bath, "Zekkein Hana no Yu," is located a little ways away from the building, and the lighting is turned off at night. By reducing the lights in the bath and around it, you can see the starry sky from the open-air bath.
In the mornings and afternoons, you can enjoy the open-air bath with the majestic Aso grasslands spreading out before your eyes.
Enjoy the natural scenery of Aso, which changes with each season, by soaking in the reclining bath, a natural planetarium at night, and a panoramic view of nature during the day.
