[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 inn standing alone on a mountain. There, away from everyday life, a special time just for them passes slowly. Outside the inn, there is a spacious, large wooden deck measuring approximately 350 square metres. This place offers the unique sense of openness of a mountain location, with the sky stretching far and wide, so at night you can leisurely enjoy the endless night sky and a sky full of stars. One of the unique charms of this inn 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 illuminated, creating a special, almost magical atmosphere as it contrasts with the pitch-black darkness that surrounds it. In spring, the cherry blossoms bloom, and spending time admiring the scenery is truly special. Surrounded by the sound of a campfire, fresh air, and soft lighting, you can enjoy a moment away from everyday life. In addition, we offer an outdoor barrel sauna that you can enjoy under the starry sky. Time spent 'nurturing oneself' in nature makes your stay even more special. Time for ourselves, without being disturbed by anyone. Enjoy a special night at Twinkle Stars, surrounded by wide-open skies and a sky full of stars.

A 10-minute walk from central Morioka  On the banks of the Nakatsugawa River… An inn brimming with Morioka charm, available to one group per day “Oyakuen-mae”

Enjoy a timeless experience at this inn, surrounded by the garden of the Nanbu family, lords of the Morioka domain (now the Morioka Chūō Community Centre Garden), and the Nakatsugawa River, an iconic symbol of Morioka that has flowed through the heart of the castle town since the Edo period. The strolling garden across the street, just a one-minute walk away, is said to have been called the “Oyakuen” because it was used to grow medicinal herbs for Morioka Castle. Located just before that, this house displays a sign that reads “御薬園前—Oyakuenmae—” and began offering private lodging in April 2026. We have renovated this 50-year-old building into a space that blends the old with the new. Based on the concept of a home away from home where you can enjoy Iwate as if you lived here and want to come back again and again, we will do our utmost to help make your stay a heartwarming experience.
