We modern people always live in the hustle and bustle. Occasionally, it is good to forget all such things and relax on the southern island surrounded by the sea, the stars, and the silence. Probably.

Here, there is no artificial light other than the starry sky (the glow of fireflies depending on the season) that falls from the night sky, and if you listen carefully, you can only hear the tide and the cry of insects, and the sound of the wind that rings the treetops of the surrounding trees.
This is the true tranquility of the night that modern people have forgotten.

On a clear night, you can enjoy a wonderful starry sky. We call "Minami no Hitotsuboshi" an inn in the starry sky.
