The road is a little narrow if you drive there, but it's fine if you drive carefully. The lake next to the inn and the starry sky were absolutely beautiful. The lady at the inn's reception was also very helpful. The only drawback is that the bath is small, but even with that in mind, it was incredibly comfortable. And the bonfire on the starry sky terrace was amazing!
I stayed here alone.
I was glad I could experience barbecue and bonfire. Unfortunately, it was cloudy so I couldn't see the starry sky I was hoping for, but it was a relaxing space where I could sway in a hammock.
The staff were also very kind.
The view from Gokuraku Pass, which they recommended, was amazing.
It's a wonderful place to stay, and I'd like to come back with my family next time.
Thank you.
We used the accommodation (BBQ) plan at the stargazing terrace. The large terrace directly connected to our room had the kids swaying in the hammocks, and their excitement was through the roof as soon as we checked in. The bathroom and toilet were shared, but they were clean, so it didn't bother me at all. All the equipment and ingredients were provided, so we didn't have to prepare or worry about anything. There was a gazebo and mosquito net on the terrace, so even those who don't like bugs (like me) should be fine. You can also purchase a firewood set and have a bonfire. The kids were delighted roasting marshmallows. And when it was all over, we could sleep in the comfortable, thick futons in our room – it was truly the best of both camping and a traditional Japanese inn!
The next morning's breakfast had a wide variety of dishes and was incredibly delicious. I ended up eating too much for both meals…
I think this is a fantastic inn and plan where you can easily enjoy an outdoor experience. I would love to visit again.
I booked a star-gazing terrace with a friend during Golden Week.
When we arrived after passing through the forest, we were greeted by a beautiful lakeside. I was deeply impressed by the quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Some people were camping by the lake, pitching tents. It was a truly magical and beautiful place.
At the inn with a star-gazing terrace, we were greeted by a unique and approachable young proprietress. We booked for a large group of 10, and they were very flexible in accommodating our group, which we were very grateful for.
The barbecue included an evening meal, and the portions were quite generous, which left us feeling satisfied. The star-gazing terrace has a bonfire area, so we could sit by the fire and wait for the stars to come out. There's also a stylish outdoor bar right next to the inn, where they will make cocktails to your liking.
At night, the starry sky is visible even with the naked eye, and if you're lucky, you might even spot a shooting star.
The inn has Japanese-style rooms, and can accommodate up to four people per room. The interior is Japanese-style and very comfortable. There's also an old-fashioned bath, which felt incredibly refreshing to soak in after the barbecue. They also have badminton rackets available for rent, and plenty of other play equipment.
We spent the next day strolling along the lakeside until lunchtime, and time flew by.
Shirasagi-so has beautiful scenery and plenty of things to do, making it a very comfortable place with no need to move around anywhere else. I'll definitely stay here again!
We stayed for one night with our family of six!
Although we ended up with two rooms, we were very satisfied!
The BBQ and bonfire provided many first-time experiences for the children, and they were very happy.
The staff at the inn were also very kind to the children, which we appreciated!
The breakfast and dinner (BBQ) were surprisingly generous portions! It was delicious!
Unfortunately, it was cloudy and we couldn't see the stars, but our family, who loves Nagano, would love to go again.
