What is 湯治 (touji)?

Touji is Japan's traditional practice of staying near a hot spring for an extended period — usually self-catered, at a gentle pace, to rest from daily life. Kusatsu is one of the country's most famous touji towns. Tsumagoi mirrors the same rhythm at 1,444m: a shared kitchen, a quiet plateau, and easy access to soak — without needing a medical reason to come.

自炊 — cook your own, at your own pace

Self-catering is core to traditional touji. Our shared indoor kitchen and the unmanned farm shop (local meat, vegetables, and Tsumagoi cabbage) let you cook simply and eat well, on your own schedule — no restaurant reservations, no rush.

Touji FAQ

Touji is Japan's centuries-old tradition of long, unhurried stays near a hot spring to rest and reset — historically self-catered, at a gentle pace, over days or weeks (see Kusatsu's long touji history). Tsumagoi mirrors that rhythm: a shared kitchen for self-catering, a quiet 1,444m plateau away from crowds, and three storied onsen towns — Kusatsu, Manza, Shima — within an hour to soak at. This is a cultural rest practice, not a medical treatment.
Yes — プチ湯治 (a short, modern take on touji) is exactly what a 2–3 night stay here is built for. 3–5 nights already qualify for the long-stay ladder, and the self-catering kitchen and quiet plateau work the same whether you stay 2 nights or 21. Many guests use a weekday petit-touji break to combine a quiet highland reset with a soak at Kusatsu, Manza or Shima.

Start your touji, from a single night

No minimum stay, no medical reason required — book a night, a petit touji weekend, or a full 一廻り (7-night round) at the same all-in rate.
