Activities

“Hoshizora Hutte” (*Limited to Manza Prince Hotel / Manza Kogen Hotel guests only)

“Hoshizora Hutte” is located on a ski slope, close proximity to the hotel but surrounding lights hardly infiltrate the Hutte area, so it is really perfect for stargazing.
There is a bar inside the Hutte, serving hot wine and original “Starry Night” themed cocktail in their menu. Imagine spending a cool summer night in highland Manza, sipping a glass of hot wine while enjoying the beautiful starry sky.
Or even on a night of blurry conditions when stargazing is not possible, playing fireworks is another entertainment. Both children and adults will enjoy the sparks in darkness. Firework sets are available for sale.
