Kusatsu onsen Futabaya, hotel in Kusatsu

Kusatsu onsen Futabaya offers accommodation in Kusatsu. Free private parking is available on site.

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.

Konoha, hotel in Kusatsu

Konoha Hotel offers hot springs facilities and rooms with free internet access. It features a sake bar and a free shuttle bus to the centre of Kusatsu.

First traditional onsen ryokan experience for me and my Aussie partner. We were absolutely stunned by how elegant and detailed of food was. It was lucky that Tokyo snowed few days ago so we get to see snow covering Kusatsu. We bathed in the onsen admiring how unreal the view was with snow. Brilliant service too but the front desk can barely speak English.

Fourtreat Kusatsu, hotel in Kusatsu

Located in Kusatsu, 46 km from Jigokudani Monkey Park, Fourtreat Kusatsu provides accommodation with a restaurant, free private parking and a bar.

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!

    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.

    This hotel charmed us with its ambiance from the moment we stepped inside. The proximity to the famous Yubatake and local onsens made it an ideal retreat. The hotel’s private onsen, while modest in size, has a lovely, intimate vibe. I got to enjoy it by myself which was a great experience. The level of service was amazing, with staff showcasing exceptional friendliness. The yukatas in our room were a thoughtful gesture that deeply enriched our cultural experience, making our trip feel even more special. I would stay here again!

    We've enjoyed our stay here a lot. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. We were welcomed with a nice hotel tour and we got all the necessary information, plus a free "after-onsen" drink. The size of the room was bigger than usual and the futon were soooo comfortable. I had very good sleep. Breakfast is also very good, fresh and different every morning. The staff there was also extremely nice. We were also driven to the bus terminal for free as it was a rainy day. Can only recommend it!

    Everything was good. The Staff, Location, the room, the onsen, breakfast...all are wonderful. I have problem with my heavy luggage but the nice young female staff helped me. The hotel is right across Kusatsu bus terminal (less then 1 minute walk), and there is a 2-minutes-walk shortcut to Yubatake. There is a convenience store right in front and a restaurant next door. There is no shower or bathtub in the toilet in guest-room. But who needs those when you have an onsen with showering area.

    Such a beautiful hidden gem at kusatsu onsen town! Super close to everything & even though there is a road out the front it is really quiet. The host/owner, Hiromi- we loved Hiromi! He is so friendly & accommodating, free beverages is a great touch, unit was very clean & beautiful japanese interior with 3 bedrooms, one with futons on the floor japanese style, and a large double bed in the open studio area. Will definitely stay here again & highly recommend this to anyone going to kusatsu

    The service was exceptional. Mika was a pleasure to talk to and went above and beyond to make our stay one of the best of our tour across Japan. It's a great location that's right between the downtown core and a lovely park. Room was good sized as well! And since there's only 10 rooms, the hotel Onsen might as well be a private onsen with two different water sources. The free coffee and tea in the lobby is a great touch too.

    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.

    One of the things that we really really appreciated about Kirishimaya Ryokan was staff that speak great English! Not that we expect that when we travel but it’s always wonderful to be able to converse naturally in our mother tongue! :) A very homey ryokan, dated but clean and well-run. The onsens were great…and really hot! Also close to Yubatake and pretty much the centre of Kusatsu.

    The resort location is very close to the center area. Also the resort provided shuttle bus service to all the major sightseeing places. The resort has all other amenities very good Onsen; gaming area; restaurant. The best part is the Staff they are very helpful (even though in English) and also guided us with all of our queries. I would say its money worth spending.

    Close to the town centre, super easy access. Hotel was nice and had it's own onsen which was large and accommodated a lot of the guests that stayed there. Staff set up the futons for you and have snacks upon your arrival. There is a 7/11 in the centre of town but I recommend exploring the side streets to find mom & pop shops for snacks too.
