Hōshi Onsen Chōjūkan stands alone in a forested valley in Minakami, Gunma. Its Hōshi no Yu bathhouse, built in 1895, is a wooden hall of arched beams where bathers sit on pebble-floored basins directly above the calcium-sodium sulphate spring.

Почему стоит поехать

It is one of the best-preserved mixed-bathing wooden bathhouses in Japan: no filtration, no additives, water entering the tubs at source temperature under lamplight.

История

The inn was founded in 1875 as a remote cure lodging on the old road over the Mikuni pass; the bathhouse of 1895 survives largely unaltered and is a designated cultural property of the region.

Практическая информация

Chōjūkan is a ryokan first — day bathing is possible in limited hours. Hōshi no Yu is traditionally mixed, with women-only periods each evening.
