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.

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!
Tennis courts and beautiful natural hot spring baths, Kusatsu Now Resort is a 5-minute drive from Kusatsu Onsen Bus Terminal. Rooms have large windows with nature views.

Love the private onsen. Well designed and spacious of the room. Hotel even provide a small bottle of champagne for us. What we see on the website regarding the room and the hotel surrounding is exactly what we see when we there. 👍
We also love the public onsen where there is indoor and outdoor.
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.

Of the three most popular onsen towns in Gunma, Kusatsu is definitely the most accessible and easiest to wander through. It has an almost amusement park-like quality and is very convenient. There are not many dining options so make sure to book a hotel with breakfast and dinner.

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.
Great place to stay and enjoy an evening after having explored the town of a day at the local ski resort. The rooms are large and comfortable. We had plenty to do at the leisure area in the hotel lobby. There were even a gaming consoles to keep you busy throughout the night in hotel rooms. The owner runs a great coffee shop just down the road which hosts a very skilled barista who makes fantastic coffee just like what you would find in Australia. The hotel has three different onsens to choose from and all the necessary amenities.
The private and public onsen together with the one in the room were amazing, and overall the whole ryokan was beautiful with a gorgeous garden in the middle to enjoy after your bath. The mountain views fully complete the calm atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and attentive with us, and always helped us with anything we needed. The shuttle bus from and to Karuizawa is a great bonus, plus hourly rides into Kusatsu, to Yubatake bus station were very very convenient.
Kaiseki meals in elegant dining room were superb.Good English support in the dining room.
Very central location.
Futons were OK when double layer of 2 futons was used.
Could open the window for fresh air.
30000 yen for Friday night, 39000 yen for Saturday night for 2 people including amazing meals.
Room old but clean. Size comfortable but not big.
Very quiet.
Modest private bathroom and toilet appreciated.
Quite nice hotel onsen.
Location of the hotel is good, at the end of the Sainogawara street and right beside the entrance of Sainogawara park. It is a small hotel with only 10 guestrooms so it is very quiet and peaceful, and the onsen is usually empty. I paid 4,400yen for the dinner and will TOTALLY recommend it - such an amazing spread and experience. Miki is also super friendly and cheerful, and definitely made my stay here very very enjoyable!
Comfortable bed
Room is beautifully decorated
I booked for a shared bathroom at i still got a toilet in my room
4 beautiful private onsens
Welcome sweets and green tea
Unlimited cofee and even flavored water
Close to the bus station and a short walk to Yubatake and all the center of Kusatsu onsen
They have different shampoos and conditioner and we can use when we go onsen bathing
Bathroom has skin care.
We stayed at Pedalo (a separate mini complex with three rooms with private onsen tubs). It was beautiful and convenient, located right next to the main building. The location is perfect for walking to the bus station, but the hotel also offers a free shuttle. We also used a private onsen in the main building, which was available for extra payment.
They have a kotatsu in the living room. We could spend time playing cards warmly. Also the bathroom and showers were super clean. They leave extra blankets and electronic blankets in our rooms., so we didn't not suffer of the cold temperature.
I will definitely come back again if I go to Kusatsu Onsen.
The staff was welcoming and fullfilled requests. My room was clean, spacious and comfortable. And the location of the hotel was within walking distance of the bus station, onsens and the little town circling YUBATAKE.
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!
The very helpful staff, the scenery, the buffet, the private onsen, the lounge, and the great location, which is near everything. Another big thanks to the staff at this establishment. We plan to come back!
We went during the off-season in mid-November. The hotel was mostly empty. We didn't need to reserve the private onsen because the public one was empty the entire time. It was great!
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
new hotel with free house drink on the lobby. the deco very nice, good to stay out at lobby area for relex. breakfast was very nice. Public onsen was good at the hotel.
