Manza Kogen Hotel

The Onsen water quality, the spacious and open feel, and being able to bathe as a couple made it the best Onsen I’ve ever visited.I enjoyed how the atmosphere changed in the morning, evening, and at night.You buy a bathing garment at the shop and wear it in the bath. It may be a bit short for tall women, so you might want to bring your own.Since we stayed two nights, we went to the Prince Hotel buffet on the second night. The food selection wasn’t very different—just crab and a few additional items, with more variety overall.The Hotel Facility is old and not particularly luxurious, but it’s not expensive, and above all the Onsen is excellent, so I was satisfied.

We stayed as a couple.The open-air bath was outstanding—easily the best among all the Onsen Accommodations we’ve stayed at. The water quality was excellent, and we were able to fully enjoy Manza Onsen’s signature milky, cloudy waters to our heart’s content.It was our first time trying a mixed-gender open-air bath, but we decided to go in together “since we were here and wanted to make a memory.” We were a little nervous at first, but it turned into a truly fun experience and an unforgettable memory for us as a couple.When I asked a staff member who was cleaning the washing area by the open-air bath, they responded very politely, and I really appreciated the kind service.The meals were more than satisfying, and the Room was spacious and comfortable—there wasn’t anything to complain about.Before staying, I thought, “At this price point, it’ll probably be about what you’d expect,” but after actually staying here, it far exceeded our expectations. It honestly felt like twice the value for money—we’re extremely satisfied.Next time, we’d love to visit in another season and enjoy these wonderful hot springs again.
