Things to do

  • <Yubatake>The largest source of Kusatsu Onsen located in the center of the city

    The hot spring that springs down is sent to each accommodation facility by lowering the temperature to the wooden fence. At this time, by drying what has settled in the wooden bowl, you can make Yu-no-hana.
    Sidewalks are tiled vertically and tiled tiles with motifs of the Edo period (Joshu Kusatsu Onsen no Zu (map)) are used as motifs.
    You can touch your hands and feet to the source at “Shiraneyama Bench” and “Shin-Yukemuri Tei”.
    • Yubatake

    • Otaki no Yu

    • Gozanoyu

  • <Sainokawara Park>Scenic spot of Kusatsu Onsen

    At the west end of the hot spring town, you will be amazed by the sight of the so-called “Ogre's Spring Water”.


    • Sainokawara open air bath

      The highlight of the hot springs is undoubtedly the open-air bath. The rock bath surrounded by trees and watched over by the blue sky is the largest in Japan, and soaking in the hot springs while feeling the natural breeze on your skin is truly heavenly. For those who think "Being naked outside..." they rent swimsuits and also sell towels with names on them, so it's fine even if you go empty-handed.
