Date of photo: 2023.4.23 Spot: Hanamomo no Sato Address: Chiri, Achi Village, Shimoina District, Nagano Prefecture 395-0304 About 90 minutes from Nagoya on the Chuo Expressway. Right next to Sonohara Interchange. Achi Village, Nagano Prefecture, is known as the village with the most beautiful starry sky in Japan. Here, from mid-April to early May, many flowering trees called hanamomo bloom beautifully. There are more than 5,000 of them. Achi Village has planted many "sanshoku hanamomo" trees that bloom in three colors: red, white, and pink. It is an unusual flowering tree that blooms with flowers of different colors on one tree. It is said that it has not yet been clarified why different colored flowers bloom on the same tree.

🌸Hanamomo no Sato, Achi Village, Nagano Prefecture🌸 Located in Nagano Prefecture near Gifu Prefecture, multiple colored flowers bloom from a single tree, and it's my favorite place because it's more beautiful than cherry blossoms. Achi Village is famous for its stars. I wasn't able to see them due to time constraints, but I'd like to visit Achi Village again someday to see the best starry sky in Japan. #Hanamomo no Sato #A trip to enjoy spring #Supporting tourism #Amazing view#Hanami

Located in the Enjarod area, Achi Village is a recreational destination known for its natural beauty. The village has clear streams with large and small stones scattered in the water, coupled with the reflection of sunlight, the entire painting is colorful, as if you are in a fairy tale world. The environment of Achi Village is very simple, surrounded by mountains and the air is particularly fresh. It is definitely an ideal choice to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Route and must-do suggestions: Travelers are advised to start a slow walk from the entrance of the village, starting with a tour along the stream to enjoy the natural views and take photos. The stones and water form different layers of light and shadow, especially spectacular on sunny days. It is recommended to have suitable non-slip shoes ready for walking along the stream. In addition, there are several trails near the village, some of which allow you to go deep into the forest and feel the tranquility in the forest.
 The village requires no tickets and free admission, perfect for families or a relaxing stroll with friends. Check-in spot recommendation: 1. Stream Stony Beach - The most popular photo spot, the sun shines down on the water with flashing colors and the lush mountains in the background, perfect for selfies or group photos. 2. Wooden bridge in front of the village - looking over from the bridge you can take pictures of the entire stream view, most romantic at sunset. 3. Woodland Path - Sunlight penetrates the leaves and shines on the ground, feeling fantastic. Practical tips: 1. It is not recommended to go in rainy days, the stream water volume becomes larger plus the stone surface is wet and slippery, walking to pay attention to safety. 2. It is recommended to visit in the morning or evening for fewer tourists and better photography. 3. There are no large shops in the village, it is recommended to bring your own water or snacks. 4. Suitable for one to two hour leisure excursions, no special itinerary arrangements are required, casual strolling is most comfortable. Enharrod Achi Village is suitable for those who love nature and want to pursue a slow pace! Whether alone, as a couple, parents or with friends you can enjoy this tranquil and beautiful countryside.

Achi Village in Nagano Prefecture is famous for its beautiful starry skies! Did you know that Namiai Park, a park for stargazing, is located in the village? On a clear day at the end of October, I was able to enjoy a star-filled sky. 🌠 And, amazingly, I even saw more than three shooting stars! [How to Enjoy✨] - Join one of the two stargazing events (approximately an hour) held daily to learn about the stars, listen to stories about the constellations, and enjoy the view. Afterward, you're free to spend any time you like in the park until closing time. The park closes at midnight from April to December, and at 10:00 PM from January to March. - If you reserve the viewing deck, you can enjoy the stars in a private, walled space in the reclining seats provided. Have a wonderful time! [Caution⚠️] - Even in October, I needed a winter coat. 🥶 Check the temperature carefully beforehand and make sure you're prepared for the cold! By the way, you can rent down coats for a fee. - In the park areas other than the viewing deck, there are regular benches but no reclining seats. If you want to lie down and enjoy the starry sky, be sure to bring a picnic blanket with you. - Binoculars are available for rental, but we recommend bringing them if you have them!

Hirugami Onsen I stayed at the Yutari no Sato Inaka Hotel. Even the Emperor has stayed here, and there were photos of him there in the lobby. The parking lot was a bit tricky, slanted like a service area, and it was pretty full. There's a morning market and a free foot bath nearby, so I recommend strolling around the area. 🦵♨️ The autumn leaves right in front of the hotel entrance were a stunning red, and I think it was the most beautiful foliage I've seen this year. 🍁 The breakfast buffet was delicious, with a wide variety of options!

\Glamping Records/ ⁡ This time, I've put together a record of my visit to Mökki -stardust glampimg-, a glamping facility in Achi Village, Nagano. ◎ ⁡ This all-inclusive facility features a bath, kitchen, dining area, and restrooms, and the BBQ dinner was absolutely amazing! ⁡ It's not really camping anymore (lol), but having everything you need and being able to relax in your room is a big plus! ⁡ They also offer a service where you can enjoy marshmallows around a bonfire outside, which was very satisfying. ◎ ⁡ The stars are beautiful at night.✴︎ ⁡ I highly recommend mökki. Please check it out! 💖 #JapanTravelGuide #Glamping

As spring deepens from early April to early May, National Route 256, connecting the Ina Valley and Kiso Valley, transforms into a beautiful landscape of flowering peaches. 🌸 During this time, a 40-kilometer stretch of beautiful flowering peach trees blooms, revealing a variety of colorful blossoms. Due to the difference in elevation, the flowers bloom first in the lower elevations and then gradually move to higher elevations, allowing visitors to enjoy the blossoms for a long period of time. 🥹✨ We especially recommend viewing the flowering peach trees at Hirugami Onsen. Here, approximately 200 flowering peach trees bloom in all their glory along the Achi River and around the morning market square. As the cherry blossoms finish blooming, these blossoms begin to bloom one after another, captivating visitors. ✨✨✨ In 2024, flowering peach seedlings and food and drink stalls are planned, allowing visitors to experience the local charm even more deeply! Furthermore, Hirugami Onsen offers a wide range of convenient accommodations, providing the perfect environment for relaxing and enjoying the flowering peach blossoms. Staying at Hirugami Onsen offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy the region's natural beauty and hot springs while relaxing in the spring.☺️ This spring, why not take a drive🚗 and visit the Hanamomo Kaido to experience the breath of spring in Nagano Prefecture?

I want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and take some time to calm myself down. But I also want to be stimulated when I travel. Nagano in Shinshu will grant you this wish. With its magnificent nature, deep history, and a treasure trove of culture that will make you gasp, there are plenty of reasons to satisfy your five senses. ⸻ ✅ 5 reasons to visit Nagano Prefecture 1. [Zenkoji is a place where anyone can be "saved"] Zenkoji, the symbol of Nagano City, is a rare temple that anyone can visit regardless of sect. It is said that if you touch the "lock of paradise" in the pitch black during the "Okaidan Meguri" tour under the main hall, you will be guaranteed a life in paradise. 2. [Actually a "hot spring kingdom"! Second in the nation in number of hot springs] Nagano is the second most hot springs prefecture in Japan after Hokkaido. Bessho Onsen, Shibu Onsen, Hirugami Onsen and other onsen hot springs are dotted around the area, perfect for a trip around the hot springs. 3. [A world-renowned starry sky] Achi Village is a village that has been recognized by the Ministry of the Environment as the place where the stars shine brightest in Japan. At Heavens Sonohara, a highland resort at an altitude of 1200m, you can experience a sky full of stars that you can almost reach out and touch. 4. [Why it's famous for its apple production, even though it's not the largest in Japan] Nagano's apples are second only to Aomori in production volume. However, they are highly rated for their "good taste" and "wide variety." In particular, "Shinano Sweet" and "Shinano Gold" are brand apples that originated in Nagano. 5. [Actually the "Jomon Kingdom"! The number of excavated items is the highest in Japan] Nagano Prefecture is one of the areas with the largest concentration of Jomon ruins in Japan. The national treasure clay figurines "Jomon Venus" and "Masked Goddess" were excavated from the Togariishi ruins in Chino City, and are cultural assets of a class comparable to those in the Tokyo National Museum. ⸻ 🧭Summary Nagano is not just "beautiful nature". A prefecture that embraces all the curiosity of travelers, from history and culture to healing and discovery. If you're looking for a "slightly deeper trip" for your next holiday, Nagano will surely exceed your expectations. #Nagano #DomesticTravel

#Register for June Hotel Sleep Tester 2025 In the early summer of 2025, I suddenly wanted to take a trip to Japan, just for the Kamikochi that I had longed for. It turns out that from Nagoya north, there are many beautiful scenery along the way, Shinho Plateau, Ride the Saddle Plateau, let you relax. The Oriental Alps, indeed, is well-deserved, the name of the river boy bridge with a bit of divine painting color, compared with the white snow-capped mountain peaks, the blue line of river water, is simply heaven and earth, making people intoxicated. There are snow walls to see on the Saddle Plateau in June! Although it is not as famous and great as Tateyama Kurobe, it is better than being high. You can still ski in June. The Japanese can really seize the last skiing time! On the way back, we went south via Matsumoto City and met the Achi Village Sunshin Onsen that surprised you. It's really a hidden village with gold. The hotel package also includes cherry picking. I couldn't be happier! I deliberately returned to Nagoya via Lake Hamana. Back in Nagoya, I went to Lego Park for a walk. The park made up of thousands of legos is magical and full of Japanese flavor. It made me regain my childhood. I went to Nagoya 4 times and finally got there! The most surprising thing was that I also came across the Yayoi Kusama polka dot bus, which looked like an oversized beetle moving! There are also three or two photos taken when I went to Zengcheng to pick litchis, the Sky Mirror and the famous Zengcheng hanging green litchi. Too many photos to put up, a bit confusing 🤣😂 💰Average consumption per person: HK$16000 🏖️ Environment / Facilities: Two couples rent a car self-drive tour saves time and flexibility, you want to go wherever you want, although the highlands and ride Anyue can not drive self-driving mountain, but the bus is also very convenient, and can book online to Uncle to Anyue bus, weekday travel is very relaxed, not too many people! Upper Highlands is more crowded than expected, but still very comfortable to relax! 🗓️ Itinerary: Zengcheng picking litchi is quite an adventure, April to Guizhou Miao Village to recognize the score of friends from Zengcheng, when the words to go to eat litchi, did not expect really into the trip, but also thank Zengcheng friends drive us to play a whole day, and too happy! 💞Reason for recommendation: good scenery, mountains and water, eat and play I also came across Kusama polka dot bus ah I also came across Kusama polka dot bus ah

Achi Village, located on the border between Nagano and Gifu Prefectures, is known for its "best starry sky in Japan," but recently it has become more well-known as "Hanamomo no Sato." (I'm one of those who only recently found out about this...) There are 5,000 flowering peaches of three varieties, red, white, and pink, planted in Hanamomo no Sato. Unlike regular peaches, flowering peaches are not edible, but are for decoration, so local people took the trouble to plant them. I'm very grateful. The flowering peaches that bloom in Hirugami Onsen in early April will increase in altitude over time, and bloom in Hanamomo no Sato in late April. The flowering peaches planted in large numbers on both sides of the river and in the mountains are truly magnificent, and I'm speechless. It really feels like a paradise. To take a photo of the whole of Hanamomo no Sato, you have to go from the top of the cliff on the other side. Before crossing the bridge with the carp streamers, take the road in front of Cafe Yamanaka on the opposite side of the road and walk for about 10 minutes up a steep hill (during this period, cars are not allowed to enter). This is also recommended if you have the stamina. Visited: May 1, 2025 (Weekdays and Thursdays during Golden Week) Name: Hanamomo no Sato Address: Achisonohara, Achi Village, Shimoina District, Nagano Prefecture Blooming period: Mid- to late April (may vary from year to year) Admission fee: Free Opening hours: 24 hours Parking: Available During this period, it is one-way after Sonohara IC, in the order of 5th, 2nd, 1st, 3rd, 4th (1st: for disabled people, 2nd: closest for general vehicles, detached building (Only about 1km) Parking fee: 1000 yen (9am-4pm: Is parking possible outside these hours?) Access: - From Nagoya/Gifu, 2km from Sonohara IC (Sonohara IC is only on the Enasan Tunnel side (Gifu side)) - From Tokyo/Suwa, 13km from Iida Yamamoto IC *Both seem to be heavily congested on weekends during the period (I was there on a weekday, so it took about 10 minutes) #Hanamomo no Sato#Achi Village#Nagano Prefecture#Hirugami Onsen#Shangri-La

📍Address: 332-3 Chisato, Achi Village, Shimoina District, Nagano Prefecture, 395-0304 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: A relaxing inn. The rooms also have baths, making it perfect for a private getaway. 💞Reason 1: The hot spring is smooth. There is also a private family bath, which can be used at no extra charge if it is available. 💞Reason 2: The food is very delicious, and varies depending on the season. I went during Hinamatsuri season, and the tableware was cute. 💞Reason 3: There is a Noh theater at the entrance to the inn. Depending on the season, Hinamatsuri dolls are displayed, and you can actually watch Noh. When I went in March, Hinamatsuri dolls and Yakku dolls were displayed, and I was able to watch a traditional puppet show in the morning. It was a very nice inn where you could take a bath in the hot spring while feeling the tradition of Nagano Prefecture. Many people also went on the Heavenly Paradise Night Tour to see the stars at night, and went to the morning market at Hirugami Onsen in the morning.

#FuriTabi The first snowfall on Mt. Okawa! The first snowfall on the mountain. It's difficult to access too far into the mountains, so we entered the mountain at Okawa, which can be accessed directly from the main national highway, Route 153. The national highway was well cleared of snow, so normal tires were fine. As we continued to climb, the snow gradually increased. Since it was new snow, it was fluffy and beautiful. I don't think you often get to climb at a time like this. As we approached the peak, the vegetation changed. We were able to see the frost-covered trees known as "white sheep." As it continued to fall, the snow melted and turned to mud, and unfortunately we returned from another world to reality. I wonder if there will be another time like this to climb... Please give it a try!

Hirugami Onsen's Achi Village is renowned as Japan's number one starry sky village. From late April to mid-May, it transforms into a veritable paradise of peach blossoms. Near Hirugami Onsen, a 4-kilometer trail is lined with over 5,000 peach trees in shades of red and white. Adjacent to the trail is National Route 256, which connects the Ina Valley and the Kiso Road. Along this 40-kilometer stretch, tens of thousands of peach trees bloom, earning it the nickname 'Peach Blossom Road'.
