This time, I would like to introduce “Manza-tei” from Tsumagoi Village, Gunma Prefecture.
Since ancient times, it has been loved as a hot spring resort where you can enjoy its famous hot water with excellent effects for healing wounds.
The location, charm, rooms, and cuisine are described here for your reference.

The “Manzatei” is a ryokan (Japanese inn) where you can enjoy the Manza Onsen hot spring located in the Joshinetsu National Park at an altitude of 1,800 meters.
You can enjoy the natural environment where you can feel the rich expressions of the changing seasons, the famous clouded white hot water that soaks your body and soul, and the colorful cuisine made from local ingredients.
By train, it takes about 3 hours and 10 minutes from Ueno Station on the Kusatsu Express, and about 1 hour and 50 minutes from Tokyo Station on the Hokuriku Shinkansen.
You will be able to enjoy a location free from the hustle and bustle of daily life where you can take in the nature surrounded by greenery in Takayama Onsen Village, which has been bustling with therapeutic bathers since the late Edo period.

At Manza-tei, you can enjoy the hot spring water from the famous “Hakutetsu no Yu,” which features 5.4 million liters of water per day and a high temperature of 80 degrees Celsius.
Since the Edo period, the hot spring has been popular among therapeutic bathers for its more than 20 kinds of beneficial effects, and it is also gentle to women and has a high effect on skin.
You will be able to feel the nature in the log outdoor bath, enjoy the nostalgia of Edo with the scent of Japanese cypress in the indoor bath, and soak in two types of private baths, “Sasano-yu” and “Shirakaba-no-yu”.
