    Room was next to ground floor of road, so couldn’t open shutters for natural light without feeling I was exposed!

    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!)

    no Lift in the facility, so you have to move your own luggages to 2nd floor. it will be great of there is a lift as heavy luggages for gals to move up and down from the property.

    i like the welcome drink and snacks gave by the property. The staffs are very friendly and helpful. The location is very strategic to bus stations and sightseeing by walking distance.

    Walls are thin and you can hear people talking in the other room but after around 8pm it's very quiet. I was concerned at first but had one of the best sleep because it was so quiet and as it was not located in the main area, streets were very quiet as well. I would like to ask people who are looking to stay here to be courteous as well.

    Very welcoming staff who gave me full tour of the place and went over all the amenities and how to use them. Staff doesn't speak English but has prepared sheets in English to go over frequently asked questions and rules. The location is great! It is just a block away from the main area and up the hill so from bus stop to the ryokan is short walk even if you have huge luggage and don't need to worry about going up and down steep hill with heavy stuff. Facilities were very clean and the welcome tea and snacks were very delicious. I got to try making my own matcha tea for the first time and the breakfast was light but also very delicious! As it was close to the bus station, I didn't need to rush to get on the first bus back to the train station. I will definitely stay here again for my next visit!

    Very friendly staff, delightful private Onsen, perfect location, comfortable rooms. And Kusatsu Onsen is a great town to visit!

    The Sora Room is a separate building. It is private, spacious, and very comfortable, especially with a private onsen room. There is no need to use anywhere else. The place is clean. The hotel provides everyone with a basket of small towel, socks, and tooth brushing set for going to the onsen outside. Very convenient. I was impressed that there was an automatic coffee maker in the room as well. The breakfast is very beautiful and delicious. I love that they offer tea, coffee, and fusion water for guest all day at the main building. Good service staff Check-in must wait after 3 p.m., but check-out is very convenient and fast.

    Nothing! We loved staying here and would definitely come back if we visited Kusatsu again.

    This was one of my favourite stays during my trip to Japan! Our twin room was cosy, comfortable and so clean. The beds were the comfiest we had in Japan; I had the most relaxing sleep while staying here. We absolutely loved the breakfast we had, and everyone at the hotel was so kind and friendly. Their hospitality was the highlight of the trip! We stayed two nights and the chef made us a different meal each morning, and took us through the dishes as he brought them to us, and we were given delicious welcome sweets and matcha when we arrived. The breakfast room was so cosy with a fireplace and free coffee and tea. The location is excellent and easy to find; it was only a couple of minutes walk to the bus terminal and to the Yubatake, which is where most of the shops and restaurants are located. The four private onsen are also wonderful. We got to try out two, and we never found that we had to wait or miss out on using one of them when we wanted to. I loved the little baskets containing towels, pyjamas and toiletries that we were given. There are plenty of toiletries available in each of the onsen, and the pyjamas were so comfortable I wish I could have brought a pair home!

    The famous owner on YouTube only works on Saturdays. I was upset as I only found out when I asked the staff. So if you want to meet him, make sure you stay on a Saturday. The heat pump in the room is finnicky with no instructions. If you just press the on button, it will always be on despite overheating the room. You must turn to "Eco" mode so it will turn off at the thermostat temperature.

    Amazing location within Kusatsu Onsen, a few minute walk from the bus terminal, then a few minute walk from Yubatake. Friendly staff. Welcome snack was amazing. Breakfast is included in price, and is hearty. They have free drinks that are refreshing (and not just coffee or tea). Four private onsen rooms are so good. Enjoy as a couple or solo in these rooms. Perfect for those who are inked. I stayed at the corner room with windows on both sides of wall. Two beds. Amazing room with colourful walls. Overall quiet stay even though my room faces the intersection.

    I arrived on an earlier bus than anticipated and had some difficulties in dropping my bags. However once we got past the misunderstanding everything else ran smoothly.

    A cozy room, in a great location located just minutes from the bus station and yubatake. Breakfast each morning was delicious, and different each day. The free to use private onsen are great for those wanting a little more privacy or just a place to relax away from the crowds. There was also a great subtle bean theme!
