[2025 Yamanouchi Stay] Travel Guide for Kumanoyu Hotel (Updated May)

The hot spring at Kumanoyu Hotel has one indoor bath and one open-air bath, which are switched between men and women depending on the day! The indoor bath is a little hot at about 42-43 degrees, but the open-air bath is a little warmer at about 41-42 degrees, probably because it's cold outside, so it was easy to get in!! It contains three of Japan's three major beauty springs: ⚫︎Bicarbonate springs ⚫︎Sulfate springs ⚫︎Sulfur springs and contains a lot of metasilicic acid, so it makes your skin smooth🧖‍♀️ My skin didn't dry out much after the bath, so it seems to be good for moisturizing. #HotSpring #WinterTrip #HotSpringTrip #Nagano

Introducing the food at Kumanoyu Hotel 🐻 The Shinshu beef sukiyaki we had for dinner was topped with bear-shaped sugar (I think it was sugar...) and it was so cute!!! ⁡ Breakfast is buffet style and you can eat as much as you want 🥗 ⁡ We ate in a large hall, but there is very little space between the tables, so if everyone doesn't pull their chairs firmly, it's really hard to get past them 😂 During dinner, a group of old men didn't pull their chairs at all... I wish it was just a little bit more spacious 🫡 ⁡ 1st to 5th photos: Dinner 🥢 6th photo: Breakfast 🍚 8th photo: Room key 🐻 9th photo: Coffee in the lobby ☕️ #Hot spring #Winter trip #Hot spring trip #Nagano

Did you put bath salts in it?! I went to Kumanoyu Onsen Kumanoyu Hotel (@kumanoyuhotel), a hot spring that looks like it has a different color♨️ ⁡ I've been wanting to go to a colored hot spring lately, so I was looking for one and I went!!! I went in October, so there was no snow in the photo🧖‍♀️ ⁡ ✔️Recommended points ⚫︎You can go to a jade-colored hot spring, which is rare even in Japan♨️ Not only is the color beautiful, but the water is good for your skin. ⚫︎You can go to the hot spring 24 hours a day🧖‍♀️ ⚫︎You can stay there for a very cheap price even on weekends, so it's good value for money. ⚫︎Extension cords, playing cards, and other equipment are available for free rental. ⁡ ✔️Points to note ⚫︎There are no amenities such as lotion, so don't forget to bring them! ※Toothbrushes are available in the room! ⚫︎It's in the mountains so it's hard to access👀 Personally I recommend going by car, but studless tires are a must in winter!!! ⁡ -------------- 📍Access ▼By train 🚅Tokyo to Nagano Station, about 1 hour 20 minutes by Shinkansen 🚃Nagano to Yudanaka Station, about 50 minutes by Nagano Electric Railway 🚌Yudanaka to Kumanoyu, about 40 minutes by Nagaden bus ⁡ ▼By car 🚗Tokyo to Kumanoyu Hotel, about 3 hours 30 minutes ⁡ ■Stay time Check-in 14:00~ Check-out ~10:00 ⁡ ■Price From 30,400 yen for 2 people with 2 meals per night (according to Jalan) ※You can stay for 15,200 yen per person♨️ -------------- #Hot spring #Winter trip #Hot spring trip #Nagano
