A Solo Winter Hot Spring Retreat in Karuizawa: "One-Day Hot Spring Cure Plan" for Individuals
The Karuizawa Hoshino Area introduces the "One-Day Hot Spring Cure Plan" for individuals. Available from Tuesday, November 5, 2019, to Thursday, March 19, 2020.
Choose Your Own Experience: Meals and Body Care Options
For those who wish to refresh with a solo trip but find themselves too busy to make it happen, a plan combining hot springs, lunch, and body care has been introduced.
Karuizawa is about an hour from Tokyo via the Hokuriku Shinkansen. In winter, it transforms into a tranquil world, perfect for spending time alone. The Karuizawa Hoshino Area, centered around its hot springs, is a place of abundant nature, with walking paths along a clear stream and the charming Harunire Terrace for leisurely strolls.
Hoshino Onsen, which opened in the Taisho era, has long been cherished as a hot spring renowned for its skin-beautifying properties. Its waters, flowing freely at "Hoshino Onsen Tombo no Yu," feature a spacious indoor bath with large windows, an open-air bath surrounded by trees, and a dry sauna with views of the surrounding landscape.
The plan includes admission to the baths, towels, and complimentary sauna hat rental, along with "onsen cure" amenities such as silkworm pods for facial massage, portable aromatherapy oil to scent your towel, and an original Tombo no Yu tenugui (hand towel).
After a relaxing soak, quench your thirst with a drink ticket for "Cafe Hungry Spot," adjacent to Tombo no Yu. Choose from five types of craft beer or soft drinks.
At "Tokoyo" in Harunire Terrace, select a 30-minute treatment focusing on your feet, shoulders, or neck to soothe muscles stiffened by everyday stress.
For lunch, choose from six restaurants within the Karuizawa Hoshino Area, offering Italian, European, and other cuisines. The freedom to dine according to your mood is a unique pleasure of solo travel. At Sonmin Shokudo, enjoy the "Abundant Mushroom Toji Soba," a nourishing hot pot dish perfect for one.
Reservations are accepted until 6 PM the day before. The "One-Day Hot Spring Cure Plan" is perfect for a spontaneous, effortless escape. Warm your body and soul in Karuizawa this winter.
