From ancient rustic villages to historic towns, or simple villages close to nature. Let's explore Achimura, the starlit village in the land of the rising sun, with Mytour.
The Tranquil Beauty of Achimura Village
Different from bustling cities where tourists can indulge in shopping and entertainment at the world's top shopping centers. However, Japan also holds within it the tranquil and mystical beauty of its lush nature. Many tourists, weary of modern life's hustle and bustle, seek Japan to immerse themselves in nature, to let their souls drift under thousands of twinkling stars in the sky or enjoy the gentle paradise bestowed by nature. Achimura is the perfect destination for domestic and international travelers to enjoy a completely peaceful and beautiful space.

The travel time from Tokyo is only about 3 hours, and from Nagoya, it's about 1 hour.
The village of Achimura sits atop high mountain cliffs, so visitors stop at the foot of the mountain and travel to the village by cable car. If you come here at night, it's even more wonderful. While riding the cable car, you can clearly see the twinkling lights of the stars, witness the stunning night sky that few places can offer. Especially in winter, the clear sky reveals a dense array of stars, and you can even see the mysterious Milky Way streaking across the high sky.
To allow tourists to experience the feeling of stars in the sky very close by, the village has installed a wide-screen lighting system that makes visitors feel extremely excited. Every hour, this village's lighting system will project light for 45 minutes, then turn off to let the natural light shine through, allowing the thousands of stars in the sky to twinkle in the silent night.
Moreover, visitors to Achimura village also flock here for its abundance of hot springs, perfect for relaxation and unwinding. The ultimate experience for visitors in Achimura village is to barbecue together, camp, immerse themselves in nature, and finally soak in the warm mineral-rich waters of the hot springs while gazing at the sparkling stars in the night sky.
