The Meditation Bath terrace on the premises offers a view of the entire facility, along with a wide expanse of night sky stretching into the distance, making it the perfect spot to view the moon at its most beautiful. For this event, a “Bonfire Food Stall” will be set up on the terrace, inspired by the image of people gathering around a bonfire to enjoy moon-viewing in the past. The space will be decorated with unique lighting that evokes the flickering and rising flames of a bonfire. The cozy darkness enveloping the terrace, combined with the soft, spreading light, creates a fantastical atmosphere that invites guests to the moon-viewing banquet and enhances their graceful experience.
The moon, changing its appearance with the passage of time, has been given various evocative names according to its phases. This year, we will offer a moon-viewing banquet that changes along with the shifting appearance of the moon. With activities and offerings designed to appreciate the unique moon of each day, guests can enjoy a stay that captures the subtle differences in the passage of time. For example, on the full moon, which is the brightest, a “Moonlight Concert” will be held to allow guests to immerse themselves in the fantastical moon-viewing experience. During the “Tachimachi-zuki” (moon on the 17th night of the lunar month, sometimes known as waxing gibbous) and “Fukemachi Zuki” (moon on the 18th night of the lunar month) phases, when the moon can be seen late at night, a “Waiting Moon Nightcap Set” will be provided for guests to admire the moon from their room’s terrace after the banquet.
Blessed with beautiful spring water from the mountains, Shinshu is one of Japan’s leading sake-producing regions. In autumn, Shinshu, a sake region, offers a wealth of limited-edition sake unique to this season, such as “hiyaoroshi” and “akiagari.” Guests can enjoy a tasting of autumn sake from approximately 30 breweries in the prefecture, along with the view of the moon from the village. On chilly autumn nights, guests can freely heat the sake to their liking (“atsukan” or “nurukan”) and savor the flavors of Shinshu’s autumn sake.
