[2025 Tsumagoi Stay] Travel Guide for Manzatei (Updated Mar)

Manzatei's large public bath has two baths, an indoor bath and an open-air bath. On sunny days, you can enjoy the hot springs while watching the beautiful moon and stars from the open-air bath. 🫠 ⁡ Since the number of rooms is small, I was almost always alone in the large public bath whenever I went!!! I personally like the fact that it's easy to have the large public bath all to yourself. 🥹 #hotspring #hotspringtrip #hotspringinn #gunma #gunmatourism #gunma #cloudywater

Manzatei has a private bath that you can use for 45 minutes for 2,200 yen!!! There is also a lodging plan that includes one free private bath, and I took this plan🙋‍♀️ The capacity is 3 people, but it is spacious enough for 2 people. I went there at night, so the light blue water is hard to see in the photo, but it is a beautiful light blue water!!! The large public bath is nice, but I also recommend relaxing in the private bath🫠 ---- ■Available hours 13:00-24:00 ■Price 45 minutes/2,200 yen *Reservations required on the day, capacity 3 people ---- #Hot spring #Gunma #Manza Onsen #Hot spring trip #Hot spring inn #gunma

I went to Manzatei, a hot spring inn in Manza Onsen!!! ⁡ I think Kusatsu Onsen is famous when it comes to Gunma!!! Personally, I prefer the cloudy water at Manza Onsen😇 ⁡ I feel like Manza Onsen has a stronger sulfur smell, and I recommend it because you can relax in the hot water🫠 ⁡ ✔️Recommended points ⚫︎You can bathe in the cloudy light blue water all day except from 2 to 4 am♨️ ⚫︎Dinner and breakfast are delicious, and very filling! (Two people staying at the hotel were able to eat in private or semi-private rooms! There may be exceptions👀, but if there were a lot of people, it didn't seem like a private room, but it still maintained a feeling of not being bothered by other people) ⚫︎There are extension cords and wifi (it connects pretty quickly), so it's good for work trips. ⁡ I couldn't think of anything to be careful about, so I won't mention it here!!! ⁡ -------------- 📍Access 🚃 Kusatsu Express Ueno - Manza-Kawazawaguchi Station, about 2 hours 40 minutes 🚌 Seibu Tourist Bus Manza-Kawazawaguchi Station - Manza Bus Terminal, about 40 minutes 👣 10 minutes on foot ⁡ ■Stay time Check-in 15:00~ Check-out 10:00 ⁡ ■Price 28,600 yen~ for 2 adults, 1 night with 2 meals (14,300 yen~ per person for a 12 tatami Japanese-style room with 40 steps to the guest room) ※The room I stayed in was 37,400 yen for 2 adults, 1 night, 2 days on the weekend! -------------- ⁡ #Hot spring #Manza hot spring #Hot spring trip #Hot spring inn #Gunma #Gunma sightseeing #gunma

According to the Manzatei website, the mushroom hotpot is a special order dish and is only available from October to November, but it was included in the plan I had 👀 Depending on the plan you have for October to November, you may be able to eat it normally!!! ※My plan included Joshu beef teppanyaki!!! ⁡ Most people staying in groups of two eat in private rooms, so even during the COVID-19 pandemic, you can eat without worrying about the people around you 🥢 ※For large groups, there are no partitions, but there is a wide distance between tables! ⁡ You can eat your fill, and almost all the food is prepared on the table according to meal times, so I personally like being able to eat at my own pace🥹 ＜Breakfast＞ You can eat a Japanese set meal with lots of small dishes, so I personally get excited in the morning💛 ⁡ Breakfast was also in a private room, so even if I woke up with a dazed look on my face, I could eat without worrying🫠 #HotSpring #HotSpringTrip #HotSpringInn #Gunma #ManzaOnsen #DeliciousInnFood

Manza Onsen boasts some of the highest concentrations of sulfur springs in Japan, and Manzatei is no exception, where you can enjoy very strong sulfur springs. In addition to the large public baths for men and women, there are also private baths available for hire by time. The small bath in the photo is a private bath. As you can see, the water is milky white and has a strong sulfur smell. When you first soak in the water, you can feel the ingredients so strong that it hurts. However, once you get used to it, your body will warm up from the inside, making for an amazing bath. #Hotsprings #AccommodationReview

We chose a plan for our stay at Manzatei that included dinner and breakfast. For dinner, we enjoyed a variety of dishes, including hot pot, chawanmushi, tempura, rice, and sashimi. Everything was delicious, so we savored it to our heart's content. Meanwhile, breakfast was served on a sieve in small plates, so we were able to enjoy a variety of dishes little by little. The portions were generally quite large, so if you're worried about this, it might be a good idea to let them know when you make your reservation. The food was excellent, so please enjoy it. #Hotsprings #AccommodationReview

Manzatei is a relatively high-end hot spring inn in Manza Onsen. If you turn off the Manza Highway onto a side road and go further inside the Manza Prince Hotel, you'll find the building opposite Nisshinkan. It has a clean and calming atmosphere, and is brand new compared to other accommodations in Manza Onsen. The front desk is also calm, and the atmosphere seems comfortable. Please note that the shuttle service goes to a bus stop near the Yubatake, so if you use public transportation you will have to use a local bus. The parking lot is large, so it's best to come by car if possible. #Autumn leaves #Hot springs #Accommodation review
