8/10 Good
"Beautiful ryokan and the most comfortable beds I’ve ever had. The meals were really excellent. Hotel is new so I guess the management still has to fine tune its service. For example, the dining times could be a little more flexible instead of just 2 fixed seatings for bf n dinner ; and a coffee making machine in the rooms would be a really welcome plus factor."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kusatsu Onsen?
The best area to stay in Kusatsu Onsen is around the Yubatake, the town's iconic hot spring field.

The Yubatake is the heart of Kusatsu Onsen, a large open-air hot spring source where steaming thermal waters flow through wooden flumes. This area is surrounded by traditional ryokans (Japanese inns), souvenir shops, and restaurants, all within easy walking distance. You'll find many of the town's main attractions, such as the Sainokawara Park and the Netsu-no-yu for traditional yumomi performances, just a short stroll away.

For couples seeking a traditional and relaxing onsen experience, staying near the Yubatake is ideal. Many ryokans in this area offer private onsen baths or exquisite dining experiences with local delicacies, providing a ideal setting for a romantic getaway. The evening illumination of the Yubatake creates a beautiful backdrop for an evening walk.

Solo travellers will also find the Yubatake area convenient and engaging. Being central means easy access to public transport for exploring further afield, and there are plenty of small eateries and cafes where one can enjoy a meal or a quiet moment.
When is the best time to go to Kusatsu Onsen?
The best time to visit Kusatsu Onsen truly depends on what sort of experience you're after.

If you love winter sports and don't mind the cold, January and February are fantastic. You'll find the town covered in snow, creating a beautiful and cosy atmosphere, great for enjoying the hot springs. The nearby ski resorts, like Kusatsu Onsen Ski Resort, are in full swing, making it ideal for those who want to combine skiing or snowboarding with a relaxing onsen holiday. The crisp air makes soaking in the outdoor baths particularly invigorating.

For those who prefer milder weather and a lush green landscape, late spring (May to early June) or autumn (late September to November) are excellent choices. During these times, the temperatures are comfortable for exploring the town on foot, and the scenery around the onsen town is stunning. Autumn brings vibrant foliage, adding another layer of beauty to the natural surroundings. It's a great time for couples seeking a romantic getaway, with pleasant weather for strolls and soaking in the baths.
