This hotel is located near the last stop, Minakami Station, which is 25 minutes away by bus from Jomo-Kogen Station on the Joetsu Shinkansen. The open-air bath offers a magnificent Breathtaking view. This is Ryokan (Japanese inn) where you can forget about the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The food is delicious, and you can enjoy the bounty of the mountains.

The reason we recommend this Ryokan (Japanese inn) is that you can enjoy the famous Manza Onsen hot springs in the middle of nature surrounded by mountains on all sides. Ryokan (Japanese inn) is not a large modern hotel, but it has everything you need and you won't feel inconvenienced. Above all, the hot springs are so satisfying that you can try out the different baths.

For meals, you can enjoy the local brand of Kirifuri Kogen beef steak and yuba (tofu skin), a favorite among Japanese people.

Although it is only about an hour away from Shinjuku Station, I think this hot spring inn is not well known. It is located above Fuefukigawa Fruit Park, which is said to be one of the three new great night views in Japan, and the night view of the Kofu Basin that can be seen at night is very beautiful. The open-air bath while watching the night view is a masterpiece.

This hotel is located in Manza Onsen, Gunma Prefecture. It is located in the mountains, but the shuttle bus from Karuizawa Station makes it easy to get to. The open-air bath is a magnificent bath to view the snow, and it was a sight that made me want to enjoy it forever. The room was a simple yet beautiful twin room, where I was able to relax. The meals were served buffet style, so I could enjoy them casually.

There are nearly 200 guest rooms. The dinner Buffet offers a sumptuous menu of over 100 different Japanese, Western and Chinese dishes. Both Shuhokan and Hachimankan have large public baths.
