It is said that hot springs, which stay in hot spring areas for a long period of time and are treated by hot springs, have the effect of enhancing “immunity (natural healing power)”. When your immune system is weakened, your body may become ill and you may feel depressed.

Some people may be interested in hot springs, but it is difficult to stay for a long time and the threshold is high. For such people, the “Karuizawa Hoshino Area” will sell a “single day trip hot spring plan” that allows you to easily take a hot spring without having to stay for a long time.

The center of the plan is “Hoshino Onsen Tonbo no Yu”, and the period is from November 4, 2020 to March 19, 2021. In order to feel the boost of immunity even in a day trip to the hot springs, we have incorporated a breathing method into the hot spring bathing method and prepared a drink blended with ginger to improve the intestinal environment.

In addition, body care and lunch that can be selected from 6 stores are included in the plan so that you can fully enjoy your time alone.

Hoshino Onsen Tonbo-no-Yu, which is the center of the one-day hot spring plan, is a bathing facility that flows directly from the source, following the flow of Hoshino Onsen, which opened in the Taisho era.

The spring quality is hydrogen carbonate spring and chloride spring, and the hot spring is soft and thick. It is said that when you are soaking in a bathtub, you wash away waste products, and when you get out of the bath, a veil of salt covers your skin and moisturizes it. “Beautiful skin hot water” that has both cleansing and moisturizing.

There is an open-air bath surrounded by natural trees and a spacious indoor bath with large windows, and the exterior looks like a post town.

1 Improve immunity by combining hot spring bathing method with breathing method

Taking advantage of the rich nature of Karuizawa, we have incorporated breathing methods such as deep breathing in the clear air into the hot spring bathing method. The breathing method is used to improve immunity from the aspect of improving lung function. We have also prepared the “Hoshino Onsen Tonbo no Yu Bathing Guidance Book” that summarizes how to enter the hot springs and hot and cold baths that warm your body in an easy-to-understand manner along with the breathing method.

The plan includes a bathing fee and a towel rental fee, so you can come empty-handed on the day and take a bath as many times as you like. In addition, there is also a rental of “Poka Poka Azuki Muffler” filled with warm azuki beans so as not to cool the warm body after bathing.

2 Cocoa drink blended with ginger that regulates the intestinal environment

Ginger is an ingredient that can be expected to improve the intestinal environment and boost immunity. The one-day hot spring plan includes “Scorched Marshmallow Spice Cocoa” blended with ginger. A drink that warms the body from the inside, with sweet cocoa accented with pungent ginger and spices.

3 Body care that opens up a stiff body

4 Lunch at 6 selectable stores

For lunch, you can choose from 6 restaurants in the Karuizawa Hoshino area, including Italian and European cuisine. Each store has a lunch menu for a one-day hot spring plan. You don’t need to make a reservation in advance, and you can choose a restaurant according to your mood, so you don’t feel stressed. One of the 6 stores, the villager’s cafeteria, recommends “Plenty of mushroom throwing soba”. It is a local dish of Shinshu where you can enjoy the soba noodles in a basket by putting them in a pot containing chicken, vegetables, and various mushrooms (throwing them).
