"Hoshino Onsen Tombo no Yu" has resumed operations.

"Hoshino Onsen Tombo no Yu" has completed two and a half months of maintenance, and reopened with a new look on Saturday, March 2, 2023. The lighting has been renewed upon reopening. You can now enjoy the changing seasons of Tombo-no-Yu, which is rich in nature, even more.

A natural scene emerges

The trees in the forest adjacent to Tombo-no-Yu are illuminated and reflected in the pond connected to the open-air bath, making them appear like a picture scroll.

The color and brightness of the lighting changes depending on the season. For the upcoming spring and summer months, we are working to make the greenery of the trees feel lighter.

Light changes slowly, not only with the seasons but also with the passage of time. Please enjoy the difference in atmosphere depending on the time.

``Shinra Hyaksen'' that conveys the nature of the four seasons

By telling our customers about the rich nature that surrounds Tombo-no-Yu, we hope that they will have a better time while bathing. With this in mind, I decided to display calligraphy and paintings that convey the nature of the four seasons.

Yushin, a calligrapher and ink artist living in Karuizawa, expresses the changing seasons that Tombo no Yu staff see and the things they feel from them in the form of calligraphy and paintings.

Calligraphy and paintings can be viewed at the entrance to both the women's and men's baths.

Reprint Hoshino Onsen Tenugui

We have reproduced the tenugui that was once popular at Hoshino Onsen. In honor of the fact that the source water gushes out at a rate of 400 liters per minute, only 400 pieces will be sold. The original is estimated to be from around the 30s, and depicts twinkling stars and majestic Mt. Asama.
