It’s a serene place in the countryside, I really appreciated the planetarium & observatory experience there. The staff and the owner are all very nice, they will help you with anything you need. My room was so big, I couldn’t believe it. The bathroom was bigger than some hotel rooms in Tokyo.

Great, unique place, but no dinner for me!
This was a very special experience, and the stargazing was unlike anything I've ever done. However, arriving at the hotel and being told there was no way for me to eat dinner at the restaurant because I hadn't booked 3 days in advance left a bitter taste in my mouth. If you're going to have a rule like that, please MAKE IT CLEAR in your booking details, or with a separate message to those who have booked. It seemed like everyone there knew this except for me (everyone else was Japanese, leading me to believe whatever Japanese booking website they used actually makes this clear). I was forced to hire a cab to take me to 7 Eleven while gazing in at the dining room where everyone else was serenely eating a multicourse meal, and it was maddening.

This is our second visit to Luna and this time we opt for the half japanese half western room as the beds were too hard during our previous visit. The futons were more comfortable this time.The beds were still too hard to sleep on. This time we managed to see the telescope even though the sky was cloudy. It is definitely a great experience and recommended. The food is excellent too.

5 Stars Service & Fantastic Entertainment
We have a wonderful stay with lively music and enchanting voice, scrumptious western cusine and extraordinary experience in a tradtional Japanese house with wooden decorations which makes me feel like I became a Japanese living in the 70s. Really amazing and I am definitely will return again as I missed the star observation due to the bad weather. Easy to access by car and the staff there is attentive to our arrival by sending emails to inform on the actual location and meals served. The only thing is I have overlooked and missed his email until the last moment. Thanks for everything... especially the gift which brings us with good memories.

Brilliant hotel with amazing telescope and people
I bring with my 2 yrs old son who love planets and stars. All the hotel environment and facility satisfy him well. It’s amazibg that there is a huge telescope and astronomy tour. The environment of the hotel is nice and comfortable, the food is really good, classical music performance is good, staffs are nice and helpful. Although the weather is too bad and we can’t go outside to the grassplot, but we all have a enjoyable & precious trip.

Amazing hotel near Mt. Aso
The Luna Observatory Auberge Mori No Atelier was an amazing hotel. The staff was friendly and courteous and could even speak a little bit of English, which made our check in a breeze. The room was spacious and offered many amenities. Our family was thrilled to be able to sleep in a tower with a huge telescope right above our room. The dinner was absolutely delicious, best food I have had in Japan so far. The breakfast was a delight and I was impressed to try Pineapple Jam for my first time. My family would all like to come back and stay another night when it is hopefully clear enough to see the stars!!!

수상할 정도로 천문학에 진심인 유럽식 호텔
유럽식의 고풍스러운 인테리어와 클래식한 식사가 아주 유니크한 숙박 경험을 줍니다. 라운지 공간에 굉장히 많은 천문학 서적이 있는 것도 심상치 않은데 본격적인 플라네타리움과 깜짝 놀랄만한 진짜 돔형 천문대와 망원경을 경험할 수 있는 별보기 체험이 잊지 못할 추억을 만들어주었습니다.
