It is a quiet mountain village located at the southern tip of Nagano Prefecture, known for Hirugami Onsen and Hanamomo no Sato. Hirugami Onsen, which first sprang up in 1972, is an “alkaline simple sulfur spring” with a pH of 9.7, and its smooth, smooth water is like bathing in warm lotion. It is also called the “hot spring for beautiful skin” because it leaves your skin smooth and smooth. In addition, it has been certified as the number one place for stargazing (2006) in the nationwide continuous stargazing observation conducted by the Ministry of the Environment. The Star Village Achi Tourist Promotion Council was established in 2012 with the aim of leveraging this “Japan’s best starry sky” to revitalize the region and revitalize tourism, and to attract more visitors. Since August 2012, we have been holding the “Paradise in the Sky – Japan’s Best Starry Sky Night Tour”. From October 2014, we have been holding the “Sea of Clouds & Starry Sky – Paradise in the Sky – Unkai Harbor”. The “Paradise in the Sky Winter Night Tour” will be held from December 2016. By the end of March 2023, more than 1 million people have visited the event. ◆Achi Hirugami Tourism Bureau Co., Ltd. website
