days｜Stay as if you were living in Achi Village, with the best starry sky in Japan｜Homestay

Achi Village, Nagano Prefecture, known for Japan's best starry sky. This is a homestay where a family and a dog live in Namiai, a small village at an altitude of about 1,000 meters. Wake up to the sound of birds in the morning and have coffee on the wood deck on clear days. Relax in the hammock, enjoy a BBQ, or gaze at the starry sky from the garden or wood deck at night. In winter, the firewood stove is lit, so you can have a warm time. Not only for visiting tourist destinations, We hope you enjoy a trip where you can blend in with the daily life of the countryside. Our family and our Standard Poodle, Lou, also live in this house. We can talk together or spend time independently. Enjoy a unique experience that's a bit different from a hotel, characteristic of a homestay. Hirugami Onsen is about a 20-minute drive away, and Namiai Park, where you can enjoy stargazing, is about 15 minutes away.It is recommended not only for Achi Village, but also as a base for traveling around southern Shinshu.
