I wanted to see the starry sky, so I made a reservation at Shirasagiso on Shingetsu. Unfortunately, it was pitch dark due to heavy rain on that day, but the environment at Shirasagisou was very nice, and we were able to have a barbecue and roast marshmallows, drink juice, and eat sweets on the terrace until the evening, enjoying an extraordinary experience.It was a lot of fun. !The landlady and everyone were very friendly and nice.I would like to have revenge again on the winter new moon.-! !

*Women should bring a comb and insect repellent in the summer.I stayed in a room with a star-viewing terrace on 8/20.21.It was the day after the full moon, so the stars were about the same as in my hometown. I'm thinking of getting revenge on the new moon. I'm worried about the lights from other spaces, so if I walk a little, it will get dark and it might be good for stargazing. This time I went to see the moon again. It's a really nice place with the moon reflected in the pond. I thoughtThe best parts of an inn and the outdoors!I enjoyed itMost of all, it's full of nature, and both night walks and morning walks are so wonderful and soothing! The staff are also friendly and nice.The garden of the Japanese-style room has a hammock and a barbecue space. After the barbecue, go to a room with a futon spread out in the room. How wonderful. (After taking a bath!) Wearing a yukata and sitting in a hammock...it's hard to find anywhere else.The bathroom and toilet are shared, but considering it's outdoors, it's more than enough. The toilet is clean. Some people might think that the bath is not a hot spring, so if you think of it as an inn, it's not enough. Please be careful as the stainless steel bathtub is slippery.The bath has a washing area for three people, but it is small, so please wash so that there are no bubbles in the bathtub.If you have slippers, someone else will be in the bath, so it is better to move them slightly so that you can bathe more slowly.If someone else is washing, the water will be hot. temperature is not stableThere is also a hair dryer, but there is no place to sit and dry in the changing room, so there is a shared hair dryer in the hallway of the Hoshimi Terrace, so I think you can dry your hair in your room.The bath is open from 17:00 to 22:00, and if you want to take a shower in the morning, you can use it from 6:30.Yukata are available in different sizes in the hallway, and there are blankets for when it's cold. There's also a bookshelf. Please be careful of the steps (for those on the star viewing terrace).There was a bath towel, face towel, and toothbrush, but I don't think there was a comb.Cotton swabs were in the changing room.The room has a kettle, dried fruit powder (delicious), plum kombucha, coffee, and tea. (Plum kombucha is great!)Square refrigerator (freezer compartment has a little frost and cools well, but is difficult to close)We have a dressing table, TV, air conditioner, heater, beaded sofa (nice), and Wi-Fi.In the room, there is a microwave, hair dryer (common use), playing cards (Hyakunin Isshu is old, some of the playing cards are missing, there was also Othello), and badminton (looks like fun!)Insect repellent is a must. When I sprinkled it on the screen door, no insects came in. One push is good for people who hate insects.Insects come when it's bright, so let's keep it dark.There is duct tape in the room to prevent stink bugs.The barbecue has a gas stove (stylish) and spare gas is provided, as well as kitchen paper, alcohol tissues, Chukkaman, and a garbage disposal bucket.You can bring your own food, so if you want to eat other than meat and vegetables, you may want to buy some. Seasonings included salt, pepper, soy sauce, and oil.I can't eat it all because it's so bigBreakfast was also delicious.Does water taste better with rice? It was really delicious. I was grateful that I could get refills. I ended up eating 3 bowls.If you can't eat all the meat, put it in the freezer and let it cool in a cooler the next day (at your own risk).There is spring water within 25 to 30 minutes, so if you don't mind, it's a good idea to draw water before coming.It's cold and delicious. I think it was called Ichiban Shimizu.The young landlady (sorry if I'm wrong, is it a gal young landlady?) had a lovely smile, and after reading the handwritten guide written by the young landlady, we went to the pool in Iida City.Safer than the river! Children are very happy with the lazy river and slide (you can also inflate the floats) Parents can take a nap (children 3rd grade and under must be accompanied) Flip-flops are required (floors are hot)It was full of information that the young proprietress had actually visited and researched.I was very happy.Dock run available (charges apply)Auto campsite availableApple wine and apple juice from a nearby farm are delicious! Please come overI would like to visit againNearby Cosmos Onsen is closed on Tuesdays.

When there is no wind, the lakeside becomes a mirror and looks magical. Just sitting on the protruding peninsula and looking at the scenery in a daze is soothing. There are many different types of campsites, so you can enjoy them all. It is friendly to single travelers, and the landlady is kind and polite. If you want to stay at a ryokan with a view of the lake, choose a room that supports glamping. You can take a walk around the lakeside.

I used this because I wanted to observe the starry sky.When I checked in, I was impressed by the personality of the landlady, and I was convinced that this was a good inn.The BBQ dinner started with Gohei mochi, followed by meat, vegetables, yakisoba, hot soup, and fruit.The breakfast was also very impressive with a wide variety of items and all the flavors I liked.When I checked out, I was able to meet the young proprietress, who I had wanted to meet, and we had a great chat even though she was at work.Like the proprietress, the young proprietress is also a wonderful person, and I became a fan of her.The inn has a historical feel, but the interior has been renovated and is beautiful.I heard that there are events during long holidays and weekends, so I would like to participate in those as well.I was able to forget about everyday life and relax.

We stayed in a one-story rental villa and the next day we stayed on a starry sky terrace for glamping in a Japanese-style room. Everyone at the inn is kind and friendly. I couldn't finish BBQ or breakfast. Although the facility is old, it is well-maintained and clean, and the restrooms have been renovated and are clean.

What a great location to stay,When we arrived we were warmly welcomed by the hosts / family.We received a nice tour of the accommodation and an explanation of where we could find something.The rooms have a Japanese atmosphere and as soon as you open your sliding door you look out over the beautiful nature.(there is a serene tranquility about the location that makes you feel completely zen)Dinner (a delicious BBQ that you can prepare yourself) was delivered to our room at 6:00 PM.After dinner we had a nice drink in the hammock in front of our room. When the host saw that we were sitting outside, he even brought an extra hammock so that we could enjoy a sake together under the beautiful starry sky.The Nakasendo trail is about 50 minutes from here. If you want to walk this, I would definitely make the effort to spend the night here!

I made a reservation at one of the inns on the drive, and it was my first time glamping and it was fun ♥️There were some people camping by the lake, and it was my first time seeing a camping scene at night, so I was impressed by how bright the tents were.The building of the inn has a historical feel, but the water area and rooms have been beautifully renovated and kept clean, so you can spend your time there without any problems. The women's bath is about the size of a family bath, so if you go with a group of women, you'll have to take turns playing rock, paper, and scissors (lol).BBQ on the star viewing terrace attached to your room. There was a roof and a mosquito net, so I was able to enjoy myself without worrying about rain or insects.There were so many BBQ ingredients such as soup, gohei mochi, and fruit that I felt sick to my stomach lolA food truck that's only open on weekends? Track bar? According to my older brother, the landlady loves to be fed, and would serve food to anyone as big as a junior high school student...lolBreakfast was also delicious with lots of small dishes😋There is also a bonfire and hammock in the private garden, and you can park your car next to it.It's OK to bring your own food, so next time I'll come here just to spend some time here and look at the stars...This time it rained on and off, so I couldn't see the starry sky, so I'll give it a 4.
