In historic Shimobe, enjoy our 12 onsen baths (fun for all ages!), authentic dining with kid-friendly options, and unique cultural & nature activities. Unearth Your Japan
In the heart of Yamanashi, far from the well-trodden tourist path, lies the historic onsen village of Shimobe. For centuries, its waters have been sought for their healing properties. Here, we built MAGMA Resort with a simple, p
owerful idea: to offer a place where travelers can forge genuine connections—with local culture, with breathtaking nature, and with themselves. Small by Design, Infinite in Experience
We believe true luxury is personal. Our intimate size allows us to move beyond the one-size-fits-all approach. We get to know our guests, offering heartfelt omotenashi (Japanese hospitality) and creating tailor-made schedules that fit your desires. From the moment you arrive, every detail is considered. A Feast for the Senses
Your experience includes full access to our twelve distinct onsen baths, from open-air pools under the stars to tranquil indoor sanctuaries. You will indulge in exquisite kaiseki cuisine, a multi-course art form where every dish tells the story of the season, crafted from the finest local ingredients. For our younger guests, our Kids Academy offers a gentle, joyful immersion into Japanese culture and nature, creating memories that last a lifetime. At MAGMA Resort, there are no hidden costs, only hidden gems. We handle the details, so you can focus on discovery and relaxation. We invite you to step away from the everyday and find your authentic Japan with us.
