Just steps away from a sky filled with countless stars.
A warmly welcoming inn with heartfelt hospitality.

A lodging where the starry sky feels close at hand, “Romantic Inn Moonlit Beauty.”
Here, you can gaze upon a sky full of stars while soaking in the bath, sharing stories, and laughing together—
such nights await you here.

The crisp air and tranquil mountain scenery of Shimojo Village, Nagano Prefecture,
will help you forget the hustle and bustle of the city, gently unwinding your mind and body.
We provide rental equipment for families with infants,
and have created an environment where three generations can relax comfortably.

starry sky

Long ago, a young woman lived alone in a weaver’s home.
In time, she fell in love with a man and made a wish to the moon in this land.
She soon grew more and more beautiful, and their love was fulfilled.
Since then, this place has been called Tsukihara, the Moon Plain of Matchmaking, and many people have come to visit.
Inspired by this story, our inn was named “Gekkabijin,” meaning Beauty Beneath the Moon.
