Nestled in the forest, the 60 pensions (western-style guesthouses) here give the strong sensation of arriving in Europe. Each pension has 5 to 8 rooms and getting to know the owners is one of the pleasures of staying here.

Summer event – Starry Sky Film Festival

In August, as night falls, a treasured, summertime-only cinema opens. It is the “Stardust Theatre”, and at an altitude of 1,250 m is a highland theater located closest to the starry sky. Topical movies are screened in the midst of nature and under the stars, leaving a lasting impression in one’s mind. Visitors come from far away to enjoy the film festival while staying in a nearby pension.
