Some also offer luggage delivery directly to your room—ideal for seamless travel. Check HopeGoo for integrated transport and lodging plans.

Beyond soaking, visit the Kōfu Cultural Center every Saturday for a Tortoise Pottery Workshop, led by local artisans crafting personalized onsen mugs. During the annual Shōnō Grape Festival (September), street markets feature fresh grapes and handcrafted wines. Moonlight Garden Onsen Retreat also offers kimono experiences including tea ceremony and photo sessions—deepening your connection to traditional Japanese aesthetics.
