It's a perfect place for astronomical observation. I didn't know that you could come here by car. It looks like you can come up from Ina. People who stay here or live in villas can also go up from the Fujimi direction, but the road is 5m wide and the curves are even narrower, so it seems to be for people who are good at driving. You can also camp while enjoying the starry sky.2,000 yen per sheet and 1,500 yen per additional person is a good deal.There is also a bath where you can take a bath while looking at the night sky, which is great.Beginner camping recommendedI think it's a nice and easy campsite.

I came to camp. The open-air bath was the Goemon bath. The stars look very beautiful. From October onwards, the nights are extremely cold. The shop staff lent me a down jacket.

Since Typhoon No. 10 was forecast to hit directly and we were entering the storm region, I called 5 days in advance to cancel. In the case of a typhoon, it was written on Nappu that there would be no cancellation fee, so I called just to be sure, but was told that Nappu would automatically charge a cancellation fee. I informed them that the inn could control the cancellation fee, and they said they would take care of it, but they still charged a cancellation fee. please note.

Unlike a full-service inn or hotel, it has the feel of a forest school that I experienced as a child long ago! I felt refreshed and had the freedom of being at home.

[Exquisite mountain curry and roast beef bowl! ]I use it every time I come to Nyukasayama.A cozy mountain lodge restaurant where you can feel free to stop by just for a meal.It seems to be busy when there are guests staying, but if you call out to them, they will fly over (lol)The most popular item in the mountain curry series is the grilled cheese curry, which is delicious and comes with so much grilled cheese that you can't even see the curry and rice!The baked cheese is fragrant and melts, making it very appetizing (≧∀≦)My companion ate the famous "Roast Beef Bowl", which was also delicious with so much roast beef that you couldn't even see the rice!The homemade blended sauce was exquisite, and I was able to eat the large amount of meat in one go.With this quality, 1500 yen is an unbeatable price considering the location! If you're in a big city, there's probably going to be a long line of people (lol). It'll give you power for mountain climbing.After the meal, we enjoyed freshly ground coffee with a rich aroma. My companion was eating mini-sized shaved ice lol. There were quite a few customers who only ordered shaved ice (beer too (lol))There are also many other interesting items on the menu, such as the new beef tongue stew and wild vegetable soba, so even if you're a big foodie, you'll be looking forward to your next visit.Both the master and the landlady are kind and easy to talk to about the mountains.This place is not covered by the media, so it is a hidden gem that you can stop by at your leisure!I definitely recommend it when you go to Mt. Nyukasa (as long as it's too popular so it won't be crowded (lol))By the way, staying at the inn is very popular among star lovers, and there are many ways to enjoy it, such as looking at the planets through the large telescope in the building's observatory dome, listening to explanations of the starry sky, and watching the Milky Way in the open-air bath. is! The cafeteria sells local starscape photos and star goods taken by the master, which is interesting.

It is located right near the Mt. Nyukasa trailhead. You can eat and stay overnight. If you stay in a unique building like an observatory, you can stargaze. I only had food today.

I have used it many times for lunch during day-trip mountain climbing, and I used it for my long-awaited tent stay.The facilities inside the facility are old, and some people may be concerned about the bathrooms and toilets, but you can drive up to the tent site by car, and it's rare to be able to get there so easily even though you're at an altitude of 1800 meters.I think it's good for tent beginners to practice.There are clean toilets run by the town nearby, so I think it's a good idea to use them. (In fact, it was recommended)You can also stay in cottages and mountain huts, so I think it's good for people who don't want to stay in a tent.It takes about 30 minutes to reach the top of the mountain, so if you bring a headlamp, you can climb at night or before sunrise to enjoy the view.As it is called a starry house, the stars in the night sky on a clear day were truly amazing even without going to the top of the mountain.Also, the father and mother of the hostel are nice people.It is a facility that I would like to visit again from time to time.
