The roads around the Hoshi to Kaze no Niwa Inn are slightly narrow and sloped.Also, since it is located in an area surrounded by nature, there are fewer street lights and other lights at night compared to the city.On narrow roads, please drive in the center of the road whenever possible, and be careful when driving at night.In addition, during the winter, please be sure to check the weather carefully and, if snowfall is expected, drive safely by using snow tires.There is a simple snow shovel in the warehouse next to the inn, so please feel free to use it if you need one due to heavy snowfall.

In order to allow you to experience a relaxing life in the middle of nature, there are no televisions in the lodge. The lighting is also dimmed.

We have a full range of kitchen facilities, including an island kitchen, so please feel free to use them so that everyone can enjoy cooking together.
If you wash the dishes you have used and leave them to dry on the draining rack, our staff will check and put them away when cleaning.

There is a hot water supply panel on the wall near the refrigerator in the kitchen.
If you want to use hot water, please turn on this panel.

1) Press the "Drive" button.
2) It will take a few minutes to preheat.

*For safety reasons, the electricity may be automatically turned off after 1.5 hours.
*If the water temperature on the hot water panel is set low, the bath water will not rise any higher.
*If you are staying with a large group and use a large amount of hot water, such as washing dishes in the kitchen while heating the water for the bath, the hot water may not be able to keep up and there is a chance that hot water will not come out temporarily.
In that case, please wait a while until the water warms up before using it.

There are four Japanese-style rooms separate from the living room, and each room can accommodate up to four futons (16 in total).
I hope this will be helpful when dividing your rooms.

Hairdryers are available.
*Toothbrushes have been discontinued due to mandatory reduction of disposable plastic products.

Pajamas, razors, lotions, etc. are not provided, so please bring your own.

Towels (face towels and bath towels) will be provided near the futons for the number of people booked.

If you are concerned about your child wetting the bed, please bring bedwetting pads.

To help you stay warm in the winter, in addition to air conditioning, we also provide heated carpets, lap blankets, gas fan heaters, and blankets and electric under-blankets for your futons.
If you turn on your electric blanket (on high setting) about an hour before you go to sleep, and then turn it off when you get to bed, you can sleep warmly without having to worry about low-temperature burns.

As this is an unmanned lodging, heating equipment is generally unplugged for safety reasons. Please plug it in when using the facility.

In winter, towels may be wrapped around the water pipes in the bathroom and kitchen to prevent the pipes from freezing and bursting. In this case, please remove the towels before using the facilities.

In the winter, we have installed a gas fan heater in the kitchen and the Japanese-style room to keep you warm, but if they are used for an extended period of time, an automatic safety device will trip and the gas will be cut off. (The same applies if you use gas for cooking for an extended period of time. The gas will be cut off for the entire house.)
Please turn off your gas fan heater and ventilate the room every 2 to 3 hours before using it again.

"Garden of Stars and Wind"

Smoking is strictly prohibited on the entire premises

We are currently working on this.
Additionally, the use of fire for anything other than cooking is strictly prohibited.

Our lodge is a wooden building, and the entire property, including the trees in the garden, is highly flammable.
In addition, because this is an unmanned lodging, in the unlikely event of a fire occurring, it may take some time to be discovered, which could result in a great deal of inconvenience to our neighbors. Therefore, we have established these rules, and we ask for your understanding.
If you fail to follow these rules, you may be asked to leave and may be fined.

*Throwing cigarette butts in trash bins is also prohibited.

* Fire alarms are installed in each room.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience,We do not allow guests with pets.
All rooms at our inn are fitted with tatami mats, which would make cleaning or replacing them difficult. We also do not allow pets out of consideration for guests who dislike pets (due to the smell and the fur that lingers around).
We understand that to pet owners, pets are important members of the family, but for the reasons stated above, we are unable to accommodate them. Thank you for your understanding.

There is no need to operate the iPad when checking out.
As our accommodation is unmanned, we would appreciate your cooperation for safety and energy conservation by turning off air conditioners, heaters, lights, etc. when you leave the accommodation.
Also, if you leave the front door open in areas with a lot of nature, insects will get in, so please close the door when you leave and be careful when you go home.

As our lodging is unmanned, we have no opportunity to come into contact with our guests, so emails and the feedback we receive from you in surveys are our only contact with you, and they provide us with hints and encouragement as we operate the facility.
We would be very grateful if you could write even a little about why you chose our inn and what you thought of your stay.
We may not be able to address all of your concerns, but we hope to use them to improve things in the future.

Google ReviewsIf you make a reservation through a booking site such as Rakuten or Jalan, we would be very grateful if you could also write a review on that site.

We hope you enjoy your stay at the Garden of Stars and Wind and have a wonderful time in Kamikawa Town.
