The baths were immaculate. Check in was a breeze. The room was what you would expect at an onsen resort. The food was great.

One of the best hotel/ryokan experiences we have ever had. Everything here was fantastic - the staff, the service, the facilities, the food, the transport to town, the comfort of the room and beds, and just the way the whole place flowed. The 2 onsens were phenomenal, as were the 3 private onsens, which were easy to book for free. We had a wonderful 3 days here and would highly recommend this magical place!

Both the hotel and the room were absolutely beautiful. All facilities were clean and the onsen was really great as-well. The hotel is a short walk from the centre so it’s easy to look around. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful room and onsen. Breakfast and dinner were amazing and delicious! The staff is so friendly and helpful, they gave me a ride to my next lodging that was within the town.

The hotel is located in the heart of Kusatsu town and enjoyed the illuminated night Yubatake which is a few steps from the front door. We had a nice view from the large room with a table and chairs and a tatami room, good value. They had shuttle bus to take us to another nearby sister hotel to experience different Onsen.
Indoor and outdoor hot-spring baths are on offer at ELE Hotel Onsen Ryokufutei 緑風亭, which features traditional rooms with Yukata robes and a flat-screen TV.

The free shuttle service (to and from bus station and to and from ski resort) was pretty convenient. It's far enough from the center so that you can experience peace and quiet but not too far that the walk becomes a hassle. The breakfast was pretty abundant. and the on site onsen was great!!

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-...
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.
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.
Soumeian was absolutely amazing! Everything was perfect. The rooms are huge with so much space. There is a private onsen to use and everything is so clean. The staff are exquisite and pay so much attention to detail. We don't speak Japanese but the staff made sure to do their best to communicate with us. The food provided was so tasty and huge portions.. Everything about the hotel is beautiful.
I would recommend Soumeian in a heartbeat to anyone staying in Kusatsu. It's honestly a bargain for what you get.
Loved this little hotel! A nice affordable option in Kusatsu. It’s a bit of a walk (15 minutes) outside of the town center, so it’s nice and quiet and away from the strong sulphur smell from the Yubatake. There is a shuttle to town if needed, but the walk is nice and safe. Onsen facility in the hotel was clean, with an indoor and outdoor bath. Staff were very friendly and communicated well even though they don’t speak English and my Japanese is not very strong. Thanks for a lovely stay!
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.
The Kusatsu Onsen Hotel Village is more a resort than a hotel. I don’t know when it was built, but I’m guessing around the mid-seventies, when the resort was probably a very nice place to spend your vacation.
The baths are very nice.
The staff is top notch!!! Helpful and nice at all times. But then again, so was every person we met in Japan for 3 weeks, so I’m sure you would find that on other local hotels as well.
Beautifully designed hotel with spacious rooms and comfortable beds. It was nice to be about 5 minutes walking time from both the bus terminal and the yubatake. The private onsen was a plus and the online reservations were easy to use. The breakfast was excellent and as a foreigner, I was happy that the menu was printed so that I could learn what I was eating.
last minute booking, all of the hotel at kusatsu onsen are fully booked, I did not expect much. However the hotel end up quite good. Spacious room especially for the 3 bed room. The bed come with heated blanket. Free wifi but nowadays all hotel have free wifi. Good location, hotel located in between Bus station and yubatake (city center)
In house onsen was fantastic! not hot water but real onsen! the dinner was also really nice, especially the freshly grilled abalone. hotel staff were all very friendly. We came late due to road closure caused by traffic accident. after knowing the situation they made special arrangement for us. Really appreciated.
Great location, traditional feel, quiet hotel, roomier than expected, 4 indoor private onsens with temps posted (HOT) which were available whenever we were looking to use them, plenty of parking. I'm saw kids enjoying the playroom with toys on the premises. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great value for money.
It’s very close to bus station.
Their public onsen was exceptional! They had both indoor and outdoor onsen for both men and women.
And it was available almost 24 hrs.
Staffs and services were also nice.
Splendid to relax on your vacation. Wanted to stay more.
I really loved it. :)
Was one of the very few properties on my travel dates on the affordable side from the mean price . Staff was pleasant and polite, the onsen inside hotel was nice, balancing the public baths in the village. Room was wide and staff made my bed in the evening. Great tea in the room!
Great location right at the heart of town. Big property with duty free store located within its premise. Half board package was affordable and food was good too. Onsen in the hotel was amazing and hot. Hotel also offered pick up service from the station. Great value for money!
Fantastic location, very short walk from the Yubatake. Multiple onsen within the hotel, across a number of levels, including a small outdoor bath. Staff were friendly and accommodating, and the buffet breakfast and dinner included a large range of dishes.
Location is ideal. In front of bus station. Entrance on the side of the Lawson. The staff does not speak much English but very accommodating and nice.
Breakfast was really good and the small onsen in the hotel is nice and cozy.
Excellent location near center of town and areas west of Kusatsu. Delicious breakfast that varies each day of the journey. Enjoyed time with my family staying there very much! Nice onsen and facilities on the grounds.
Japanese style room with two futons on the floor is great experience. Balcony and great view. Staff is outstanding. Onsen right in the hotel. Be prepared to pay extra tax for onsen
