[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. There, away from everyday life, a special time just for you unfolds at a leisurely pace. Outside the inn, there is a spacious, large wooden deck measuring approximately 350 m². This location offers the open feeling unique to a mountain top, with a vast expanse of sky, where, at night, you can leisurely enjoy the endless night sky and a sky full of stars. One of the unique charms of this property is that, as the city lights recede into the distance, the twinkling of the stars seems even more beautiful. At night, the area around the deck is softly lit, creating a special, almost magical atmosphere in contrast to 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 the sounds of a campfire, clear air, and soft lighting, you can spend a moment away from everyday life. In addition, we offer an outdoor barrel sauna under the stars. The time spent “reconnecting” in nature makes the stay even more special. A private getaway where no one will disturb you. Have a special evening at Twinkle Stars, surrounded by wide open skies and a sky full of stars.
