Situated 1,800 meters above sea level, Manza Onsen is a mountain hot spring village famously known as the hot spring closest to the stars. With the highest sulfur content in Japan and 27 different types of hot spring waters, Manza Onsen offers a variety of health benefits, allowing visitors to enjoy both the rich waters and the seasonal landscapes. You can also experience the hot springs on a day visit, so you can enjoy the baths without needing to stay overnight. At Manza Prince Hotel, guests can enjoy a richly varied buffet and courses of Japanese and Western cuisine featuring plentiful portions of highland vegetables and fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Guests can enjoy the private hot springs, where men and women can relax together in stunning open-air baths in complete seclusion. (Baths in Japan are typically separated by gender, and mixed baths are generally prohibited. However, certain hotels with dedicated mixed-gender baths offer exceptions, where men and women can bathe together using special towels or bathing wear.) You can also indulge in luxurious experiences unique to the hot spring area, such as the Yukemuri Bar[A1] , where you can soak in the bath during the magical twilight hour while enjoying an exquisite aperitif. Manza Onsen is the perfect place to soak up Japan's hot spring culture and enjoy a moment of relaxation.
