It is difficult to see a beautiful "starry sky" in a city full of lights from buildings. However, if you go a little further from Tokyo, there are many places where you can see the starry sky. You may think that you can't see it unless you go to a campsite deep in the mountains, but there are hotels and inns where you can casually enjoy the starry sky.

When you think of Hakone, you think of onsen! At this inn, different hot spring sources are drawn into the open-air bath and the large public bath in the guest room, so you can enjoy two types of onsen inside the hotel. In the large public bath, you can soak in the sulphate spring "Sengokuhara onsen", which is characterized by cloudy water, and in the guest room open-air bath, you can soak in the "Gora onsen", which is known as a hot spring for beauty.

3. Manza Onsen Manza Hotel Juraku
The luxury of looking at the stars from an open-air bath with free-flowing hot spring water
![The luxury of gazing at the stars from an open-air bath fed by natural hot spring water3396087](https://icotto.k-img.com/packs/media/images/webpage/shared/blank-01b832e09d5eb62c3b4a9a38806c0f58.webp)
Gunma, known as a land of onsen, has many spots where you can enjoy both onsen and starry skies. Manza onsen is one of them. Due to its high altitude, the view of the starry sky from here is well-regarded. Manza Onsen Manza Hotel Juraku is an inn that boasts an open-air bath overlooking Manza's scenic spot, Karabuki. The sight of white water vapor continuously gushing out from the rock is impressive! If you are traveling by Shinkansen from Tokyo, get off at Karuizawa Station. From there, take the Seibu Kanko Bus to Manza Bus Terminal, which takes about 1 hour and 50 minutes.
![The luxury of gazing at the stars from an open-air bath with natural hot spring water3396088](https://icotto.k-img.com/packs/media/images/webpage/shared/blank-01b832e09d5eb62c3b4a9a38806c0f58.webp)
Manza has many favorable conditions for starry sky watching, including clear air at an altitude of approximately 1,800 meters, unobstructed views, and few surrounding lights. If the weather is nice, you might be able to see a sky full of stars from the spectacular open-air bath “Unkai no Yu”! What's more, the hot water is one of Japan's most highly concentrated sulfur springs. You can enjoy the water flowing straight from the source without adding water.

We recommend the spacious “Nishikawa Air Mat Twin”. The natural design full of the warmth of wood is attractive. For the bed, Tokyo Nishikawa's "air mattress" supports a good night's sleep. There is also a massage chair, so the two of you can forget about your work fatigue and spend a happy time together.

At dinner time, there is a buffet of about 40 Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes. We have a wide selection of dishes that use plenty of local ingredients.

Let me introduce you to another inn in Manza onsen. Manza Prince Hotel, located approximately 40 minutes by bus from Manza/Kazawaguchi Station on the Azuma Line, is a resort located at an altitude of approximately 1,800 meters. Because it is located at a high altitude, if the weather is nice, you can see stars that look like jewels. Many people visit this hotel in the winter for winter sports, but we also recommend the season from spring to summer, where you can enjoy walking around the area while admiring the alpine plants. The view from the room is full of openness♪
![The open-air bath and rooms have amazing views! A highland resort located at an altitude of 1,800m3396138](https://icotto.k-img.com/packs/media/images/webpage/shared/blank-01b832e09d5eb62c3b4a9a38806c0f58.webp)
There is almost no light in the surrounding area, so you can clearly see the "Milky Way" on clear days. It seems that just the two of us looking at the stars will fill our hearts. Stargazing parties are sometimes held, so please check the official website. Enjoy the natural planetarium while listening to the guide's commentary.

The view from the open-air bath in the hotel is also the best! When the sun goes down, you will feel like you are bathing in a “star shower” as the sky full of stars spreads overhead. The scenery that can be seen in the daytime and at dusk is also beautiful, so I would like to go there many times.

In the hall, there are Showa retro things such as black telephones and tick-tock old clocks. Check-out is at 12:00, so please enjoy your leisurely tour of the hotel. It might be a good idea to take a stroll around the area on a free rental bicycle.
