Kusatsu onsen Futabaya, hotel in Kusatsu

Kusatsu onsen Futabaya offers accommodation in Kusatsu. Free private parking is available on site.

It was very comfortable, beds 10/10, they were very cosy and kept us warm and also include an electric blanket. Two of the 3 of us were from hot and sunny Qld Australia and our son brought us to Kusatsu Onsen at a time when it was very cold and snowing. It was exceptionally wonderful time to visit when it snowed. The onsens in the hotel were great as well as the ones in the park and town.

Fourtreat Kusatsu, hotel in Kusatsu

Located in Kusatsu, 46 km from Jigokudani Monkey Park, Fourtreat Kusatsu provides accommodation with a restaurant, free private parking and a bar.

The hotel just cancel our booking without contact us personally, they simply email me which I had missed as it ended up in the junk box. We drove 2 hours from Nagano and when we arrived in the dark, they just leave a message at the door saying the the property is closed due water pump issue! It took us a long time to find another accommodation in Kusatsu as nearly all of them require advance booking!

Love the unlimited snow crab dinner buffet. Hotel also has a lot of nice, comfortable resting area. Love the hotel able to provide transport to bus terminal and Yabatake town.

Kusatsu Onsen Kusatsu Hotel1913, hotel in Kusatsu

Built in 1913, the Kusatsu Hotel exhibits the architectural style of the Japanese Taisho Era.

Good location. On a quiet spot at the end of the main street of the town and right at the entrance of the country park. We took about 15 minutes to walk from the train station. But the ryokan also provided pick up and drop off service. Our room was spacious, comfortable and spotless clean. Excellent indoor and open air bath with spring water from 2 famous origins. Must try them all. The staff who served us were very good and helpful. We loved its relaxation room which provided freshly boil coffee and foot hot spring bath.

Hanaingen, hotel in Kusatsu

Hanaingen is an adult only accommodation situated in Kusatsu, just a 2-minute walk from Yubatake, or the hot water field in Kusatsu Onsen.

Very convenient. Less than 5 minutes from bus station and central Kusatsu square. Lovely welcome snack and breakfasts on both days (which they kindly switched up so I didn’t have same thing twice - although I liked the Japanese breakfast more!)

    I love this town for its distinctly authentic Japanese feel.

    I love this town for its distinctly authentic Japanese feel. It is nestled in the mountains, a gorgeous drive from Tokyo (If you have the time, drive!) Many places to drop in for a foot soak, lots of little shops and restaurants. Prepare to wait in the busy season (which I believe is the fall and winter). This time we stayed in a traditional Japanese hotel with tatami and only futons for sleeping- being from the US, this made the trip especially fun but make sure you are ok with getting up and down from the floor. There are less people who speak English than in the major cities. But if you are comfortable pointing and smiling and trying google translate, it is a beautiful place to visit. Note that people with limited mobility may find the town difficult to navigate (steps and steep hills). Better for adults, but there is a little tropical zoo nearby and the onsen demonstration is fun.

    Lovely Onsen town. Simply magical during winter.

    Lovely Onsen town. Simply magical during winter. We went in February and it was snowing. Family love it so much that we’re planning to visit for next winter. A lot of private hot spring and delicious food. We had kaiseki for breakfast and dinner at our ryokan. Definitely worth the trip and ain’t too far from Tokyo. Stay a night if possible.

    If you want to experience the quintessential Japanese, hot-spring town in the mountains then, Kusatsu is the place for you. It takes a while to get there with the train and bus but if you have the time then I would recommend it. The culture surrounding hot-springs is unique to the Japanese and there is no better place to experience it. Get early there for a day trip because most buses coming down to the train station stop running around 7 PM.

    Kusatsu is a great place for natural hotsprings.

    Kusatsu is a great place for natural hotsprings. Great Onsen. Its best to go for relaxation purpose and take a dip in the hotsprings. The places to look out for are 1) Yubatake (center of the town) - Please do visit in the evenings as well when the lights turn ON and make it a beautiful view. 2) Sainokawara Park and Open air Onsen. This is a must visit place to spend good walk in the park and then visit Open air Onsen JR Bus station is very close to center - Yubatake. So it's just a 5mins walk and also there are round trip bus by JR to all sightseeing spots. Most of the resorts offer shuttle bus service also; so I recommend to check with your resort before booking. This really helped us. The food is next best thing in Kusatsu. However if you are Vegetarian like us you might find difficulty to find good restaurants. However, there are a couple of Italian restaurants that offer good pasta and pizza which is loaded with vegetables. One major thing to note is the Bus service from Kusatsu Bus station to Nagonahara Kusatsuguchi. The bus service is not regular; so please check it and plan your outbound trip.

    The Yubatake area is picturesque and has many nearby shops with Japanese treats you can take out and eat/drink while sitting and enjoying the ambiance of Yubatake. Lots of traditional Japanese buildings, walkable streets with shops selling souvenirs and Japanese treats. Be sure to take the 10min walk from Yubatake thru Sainokawahara Koen (Park) to the large outdoor hot spring bath Sainokawhara Rotenburo.

    The iconic attraction of kusatsu are the hot springs. I have tried various ones, Kusatsu hot springs are relaxing and the the feeling is wonderful. The food in the town is delicious, I tried Udon with Tempura in some places, it was just delicious. Don’t forget to try the onsen tamago as a speciality of the town.

    Beautiful onsen, wonderful obliging and friendly staff, perfect location close to the Yuba, bus station, supermarket and the open onsen park. A very nice restaurant right next door as well with oishi soba as well a Lawson downstairs. It was snowing and cold when we were there so this convenience was a godsend. Supermarket also had very nice cooked food. A really wonderful stay. Kusatsu is a very beautiful town. I would highly recommend this accommodation and the breakfasts were superb, really special and beautifully presented.

    Amazing ryokan/hotel in Kusatsu. Staff were friendly and helpful. There was an initial mix-up with the room reservation, but the staff made sure to take care of it right away. The facilities were great and the room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was hearty and delicious, and again, the staff made us feel very comfortable. And on check-out, they gave us a free coffee coupon to their sister coffeeshop, which was an incredibly nice gesture.

    Situated at the end of the road from the yubatake, it's perfect and not noisy. There aren't many rooms, so it means the onsen are less packed! They also have their own foot bath, so there is no need to wait or find an empty one outside. It's also close to Sainokawara Park, so you can easily go for a breathtaking walk at night! (Before the hotel door closes, of course)

    Dinner was very cool, multiple courses that were all tasty. The room was also very nice with a clean and comprehensive bathroom. The private onsen was incredibly cheap as well and you get it for 40 minutes which is plenty of time. However if you want more than that you can always go to the one public to the rest of the ryokan.

    They have quite a few onsen pools, with water sourced differently. The outdoor pools are sizeable too. For those visiting the town for better onsen enjoyment, this is one of the best hotels.
