[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.
