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, try to drive in the center of the road, 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.

~Train~
Get off at Teramae Station on the JR Bantan Line and then take a bus or taxi.
(The inn is about 10 to 15 minutes by car from Teramae Station.)

● Bus
Get off at the "Odawara" stop on the "Kamioda" line and it is about a 2-minute walk, but as there are few trains running, please check in advance to make sure you don't miss your stop.

(The same applies if you use hot water for an extended period of time for cooking, bathing, etc. 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

This is the current situation.
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 cans 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 accommodation are made of tatami mats, so we are unable to accommodate guests due to the difficulty of cleaning or replacing them in the unlikely event of an allergy. We also take into consideration the possibility that guests with allergies may wish to stay the next day or later.
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.

When checking out, please be sure to press the "Check Out" button on your iPad.
*No procedure is required if your iPad is malfunctioning.
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.
Please rest assured that the door is automatically locked.

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.
