It’s a serene place in the countryside, I really appreciated the planetarium & observatory experience there. The staff and the owner are all very nice, they will help you with anything you need. My room was so big, I couldn’t believe it. The bathroom was bigger than some hotel rooms in Tokyo.

Great, unique place, but no dinner for me!

Posted 14 Jan 2024 on Hotels
This was a very special experience, and the stargazing was unlike anything I've ever done. However, arriving at the hotel and being told there was no way for me to eat dinner at the restaurant because I hadn't booked 3 days in advance left a bitter taste in my mouth. If you're going to have a rule like that, please MAKE IT CLEAR in your booking details, or with a separate message to those who have booked. It seemed like everyone there knew this except for me (everyone else was Japanese, leading me to believe whatever Japanese booking website they used actually makes this clear). I was forced to hire a cab to take me to 7 Eleven while gazing in at the dining room where everyone else was serenely eating a multicourse meal, and it was maddening.

四人入住獨棟房,空間寬敞、舒適。廁所和浴室分開的設計很棒。 晚上的觀星體驗很有趣,工作人員會用日文和英文解說。 整體的環境非常舒適,非常推薦可以到天文台住一晚。

This is our second visit to Luna and this time we opt for the half japanese half western room as the beds were too hard during our previous visit. The futons were more comfortable this time.The beds were still too hard to sleep on. This time we managed to see the telescope even though the sky was cloudy. It is definitely a great experience and recommended. The food is excellent too.

5 Stars Service & Fantastic Entertainment

Posted 17 May 2018 on Hotels
We have a wonderful stay with lively music and enchanting voice, scrumptious western cusine and extraordinary experience in a tradtional Japanese house with wooden decorations which makes me feel like I became a Japanese living in the 70s. Really amazing and I am definitely will return again as I missed the star observation due to the bad weather. Easy to access by car and the staff there is attentive to our arrival by sending emails to inform on the actual location and meals served. The only thing is I have overlooked and missed his email until the last moment. Thanks for everything... especially the gift which brings us with good memories.

Brilliant hotel with amazing telescope and people

Posted 12 Mar 2018
I bring with my 2 yrs old son who love planets and stars. All the hotel environment and facility satisfy him well. It’s amazibg that there is a huge telescope and astronomy tour. The environment of the hotel is nice and comfortable, the food is really good, classical music performance is good, staffs are nice and helpful. Although the weather is too bad and we can’t go outside to the grassplot, but we all have a enjoyable & precious trip.

What a special experience to stay at observatory!

The french cuisine using local ingredients was so delicious. We were also excited about the astronomic observation.
