About Kyukamura Tsumagoi-Kazawa

Kyukamura Tsumagoi-Kazawa is an onsen resort hotel in Tsumagoi, Agatsuma District, Gunma Prefecture. It stands on a plateau ringed by white birch forest at 1,400 m (4,590 ft) in Joshin’etsu Kogen National Park, and along the walking trails on its grounds you come across alpine flowers through the seasons. The water is Kazawa Onsen, with more than a thousand years of history. This old onsen began with a legend of a wounded deer that healed itself in its water, thrived as a place for therapeutic bathing from the Edo period through the Taisho era, and is piped in from the source 2.5 km (1.6 mi) up the Yujiri River. There is one main bathhouse for men and one for women, each with an indoor bath and an open-air bath. From the open-air bath, surrounded by trees, you can gaze at fresh spring green, autumn leaves and snowscapes without leaving the water. Day bathing is available. It is also known as the birthplace of the beloved song “Yukiyama Sanka.”

Main bathhouse

There is one main bathhouse each for men and women, each with an indoor bath and an open-air bath. The water is Kazawa Onsen, with more than a thousand years of history, piped in through a supply line from the source 2.5 km (1.6 mi) up the Yujiri River. It is a magnesium-sodium bicarbonate spring. As its official name, the “bath for beautiful skin,” suggests, the water feels soft on the skin, and it is said to help with neuralgia, muscle pain, sensitivity to cold and recovery from fatigue; in the old days, it is said, a steady stream of visitors seeking cures crossed mountain paths to reach it. Sink into the open-air bath among the trees, and the plateau’s seasons, fresh green, autumn leaves and snowscapes, spread out before your eyes just as they are.
