Manza Prince Hotel

among the beautiful onsen it have there is only one onsen that you can bond your loved one or family with a beautiful scenery and that’s unique and fantastic.

The hotel is very large, an impressive, a bit rundown, but still very nice. Hot springs are not tattoo friendly. There is a strong sulfur smell in the entire town because of the hot springs.

One of the best place to experience outdoor onsen at 1800m up in the mountain. Not a lot to do outside winter season if you do not drive. The surrounding is beautiful and an hour drive away from the Snow Monkey Park.

Staff don’t speak any English- I had issues with the fridge in my room and it was impossible to get somebody to come have a look. The restaurant is more like a school canteen, although the food is tasty. The whole place is in a desperate need of a refurb, although the onsen is beautiful and the views are scenic.

Nice onsen in a quiet setting

The best part of the Manza Prince Hotel is the view of the outdoor onsen and the proximity to the skiing area. The breakfast and dinner buffet are good, but not great. The hotel is getting a bit old, but overall still pretty comfortable.

Hotel is rather old.too.No english speaking staff, nevertheless helpful.One young chinese trainee was great help interpreting for us Mid Dec is too early for a full enjoyment of the stay.Only 1 slope opened for ski, only 1 restaurant open for dining beside the buffet cafe.Quite dissapointd Guest to note the hotel bus only run 1 trip per day, the taxi from Karuizawa station would cost approx.Yen 25k to hotel. Ski in /out convenient Great outdoor onsen.

Great Onsen. Would be good during ski season (located next to runs). At the price we paid we expected business hotel level room. It’s what we got. Small room. Poor heating/ventilation control. Unit bath. Tiny TV.

My husband & I booked into a Japanese room for 4 pax as we like the space. It is at the Annex Wing. Room. it is a very old Japanese room with sliding wall paper doors badly stained & dirty. The atmosphere is just not relaxing at all. 3 blocks on slopes, the highest is the main building with reception, big snacks shop & ski equipment shop. The South Wing is the lowest & furthest away from everything, need to take the indoor sliding funicular lift to reach the block & a small indoor onsen. The Annex Wing is convenient with main indoor/outdoor onsens & restaurants located here. Meals We did not include meals with our room as we did not want to have buffet breakfast & dinner. We booked the ala carte Western restaurant. As it was a Sat, the 2 restaurants & main hall were switched around to cater to the overwhelming crowd at the buffet dinner. It was chaotic! Finally we found our way to the other corner main hall where they moved the restaurant setting to. So glad we did not buy buffet. There were only a few tables occupied & the staff was attentive and we ate in peace & quiet. Actually we had a very good full dinner & we paid less than the buffet dinner. Restaurant Staff/Chef I requested for the white sticky yam paste on my rice which I like but they do not have it. The gentleman serving us returned to say that their chef can make a fresh yam paste for me at a small surcharge. Excellent Service. Sake is poured overflowing interestingly.

The open air gender separated onsens and the one mixed onsen have breathtaking views of the Manza Onsen region! It's simply amazing when your body is immersed in the onsen, and snow is falling onto your head and shoulders. There's a free shuttle bus from Karuizawa station to the hotel, and from the hotel back to the Karuizawa station, but make sure you reserve your seat in advance (instructions on the Manza Prince Hotel website). There is also a free shuttle bus from/to Manza Prince Hotel and Manza Kogen Hotel that runs hourly so you can try the onsens at both hotels free of charge! The hotel is a little on the older side, but it's well kept and clean. Note that breakfast, lunch and dinner options at the hotel are limited and on the more expensive side so you may want to consider bringing your own meals if travelling on low budget :-)

Onsen was close to our room.Room was small and old.

二回目の万座温泉、昔と比べたら、泉質が薄くなった気がします、本館ちょっとぬるめの温泉。姉妹館の方の温泉がいい、色々温度があって、ゆっくり入れます。まだ姉妹館で泊まってみたい。

温泉がとてもよかったです。 ベッドも快適でした。

ゆっくりくつろげて良かった

ウィンタースポーツの方たちが 多く利用されるのでしょうか？ 廊下の広さや周辺の施設などを 拝見すると観光ではないのかな？ と感じたので廊下の汚れなどは 仕方がないのか…と 天井の繫ぎ目からの雨漏りは 汚れよりも建物の安全性が 少し不安になりました ただお風呂の雰囲気と泉質は とても良いです 結構何回も長い時間入って しまったのですが湯疲れする 事もなくお肌がさっぱりつるつるに なりました

南館部屋から本館までエレベーターを3回も乗らないと行けないです 露天風呂までかとても遠くて時間もかかります。 入浴は最小限にしました

高速降りてから遠いです。

温泉が良かった

スキー場縮小営業は残念ですが、食事も部屋も申し分無し、来年もまた行きます

ご飯も食事も温泉もスタッフの方も何もかも最高！
