Achi Village, Nagano Prefecture
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.
