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.
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.
The staffs were really friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the onsen, both public and private ones. The hotel is located a couple of minutes away from Yubatake, and one of the shrines visitors usually go to is right beside of the hotel. To get there is a cute stroll, and it was great for a morning walk. We had a problem with toilet in our room, but when we talked to the staff, he addressed it right away. We enjoyed the experience of staying here!
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!
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!
Kusatsu is a beautiful town, built around a hot spring. The hotel (ryokan) was located 2 blocks from the central area - well within easy walking distance. It was a perfect town and hotel for a 24-hour visit. Lots of stores and artisanal food in town. At the hotel, we enjoyed the public onsen as well as an hour in a private room. The kaiseki (multi-course) dinner was excellent as was the breakfast.
Although we only stayed one night, we had a marvelous stay at Kusatsu Onsen Eidaya! The personnel is very welcoming and helpful (their English is perfect), the rooms are big and very clean, and the four Ryokan onsens are great. I also recommend the dinner and Japanese breakfast which were perfect. Bonus: if you are into retro gaming the rooms and lobby have mini-NES and Megadrive.
Beautiful homestay style hotel, with amazing personalised service. The breakfasts were delicious, with an attention to detail rarely seen. Their in-house Onsen is also perfect, set up as private, so you can enjoy with your partner. Room was super comfy and clean, and it was just a 10min walk to the center of town. Definitely recommended !
A Ryokan with a homely feel! The gentleman who checked us in spoke really good english and we had no issues with communication whatsoever. He made our stay especially pleasant! The onsen water at Kusatsu is also to the next level! You come with dry and rough skin and leave with silky smooth skin. Highly recommend this onsen town!
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.
Very good hotel and service was excellent, staff were very helpful and attentive. There is a private onsen available for reservation. Overall everything is good, if compared to the price it is considered very worthwhile. Hotel was clean, has good options and If there is a chance to come back to this hotel again.
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.
Lots of Japanese style food to choose, good buffet breakfast. Location is good, walking distance to town Center. A good seventy feeling of this hotel, very good for value.
Onsen in this hotel is much better then most advertised in town.
Amazing room with a amazing staff!! The room was incredible, with everything you could ask for and more, the private bath was wonderful and the beds were great! Truly an experience if you want to relax and enjoy Kusatsu Onsen.
Value for money! Staffs are very much accommodating specially Jericho. Hotel is more than 100 years old but it doesn’t feel like one. So happy we booked this for our very first onsen/ryokan experience.
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
