Minami Aso Luna Observatory Auberge "Forest Atelier"

A rare astronomical retreat facility that gently supports your natural self.

At Minami Aso Luna Observatory, we offer the "Luna Astronomy Retreat Program™," which combines an authentic scientific astronomy experience using our observatory Facility led by professional astronomers with a relaxed stargazing experience under the night sky, where you can enjoy conversations with experts while immersing yourself in nature.

Observatory tours with a giant telescope and nighttime grassland trekking, offering two unique astronomical experiences that change daily.

We offer two unique tours, including stargazing and night trekking, for a different kind of enjoyment. Refresh your mind and body while fully experiencing our theme of "Living with the Starry Sky." (Guests staying at our accommodation can join the tours held on their stay dates without an additional reservation.)

May your dinner time at the classical forest mansion become a memory to cherish for a lifetime.

Focusing on locally sourced ingredients from Kumamoto and Aso, we offer fresh vegetables and the exquisite fillet of Aso Akaushi beef, known as the "ultimate lean meat," raised through natural grazing. Our creative French cuisine is crafted with the best cooking methods for each ingredient, reflecting our heartfelt wish for every guest's health and peaceful days ahead.

Enjoy a relaxing stay with our theme, "Living with the Starry Sky," to soothe your mind and body.

Refresh your mind and body with our unique Astronomical Retreat Program amidst the forests of Aso-Kuju National Park, showcasing the beauty of all four seasons.
