Tsuno Town / Tenguso Village TENGU
A hotel with a planetarium and an observatory in a natural location in Shikoku Karst. There are rooms that are irresistible for starry sky lovers, such as a special sky room with a glass ceiling on the maisonette. The observation deck is the best spot to see the sea of clouds in the morning and the starry sky at night. We also recommend the large communal bath where the 40,000 source water is boiled.
