Seven Great Onsen Resorts in Gunma Hopping Fair

Try the Onsen Hopping Pass, allowing you to enjoy 100 famous hot spring resorts in Gunma as well as access to premium events featuring Japan’s amazing onsen culture!

100 highly recommended hot springs have been selected from among both famous and lesser-known hot springs and traditional bathhouses in Gunma Prefecture's seven major onsen resort areas (Kusatsu, Ikaho, the 18 hot springs of Minakami, Shima, Manza, Isobe, and Oigami). The Gunma Onsen Hopping Pass will be on sale from Monday, January 6 to Tuesday, February 4, allowing visitors to enjoy these 100 famous hot spring bathing facilities in any combination. Purchasers will also receive special benefits such as unlimited rides on the Onsen Road bus and preferential access to premium events.
Also, during the campaign, individual hot spring resorts will hold their own premium events to heal body and soul in harmony with nature and traditional culture. For example, at Kusatsu Onsen, guests can enjoy a spectacular dance performance of the much-loved traditional local folk song “Kusatsu-bushi” at Goza-no-yu. This bathhouse overlooks the Yubatake, the symbol of Kusatsu, and recreates the atmosphere of healing hot spring culture. At Ikaho Onsen, visitors will enjoy a special lunch made with local ingredients and a dance performance by an Ikaho geiko performer at the Yokote-kan, a traditional inn founded in the Edo period and located along the iconic Ikaho stone steps. At Manza Onsen, a premium “hot spring under the stars” bathing experience will be available for a limited time only, with only one pair daily able to enjoy champagne and non-alcoholic drinks in an exquisite bespoke hot spring setting.
From famous hot springs to secluded inns, just use the Onsen Hopping Pass on your smartphone to make the most of the Onsen culture that is the pride of Gunma Prefecture.
