It was a very comfortable accommodation.It's a bit of a walk from the bus terminal, but it shouldn't be a problem if you travel by car.Dinner and breakfast were also very delicious.I think I'll make it my permanent home in Kusatsu Onsen.

A hideaway inn for adults where you can enjoy hot springs fed directly from the source in the Kusatsu Onsen area and a blend of Japanese and Western cuisine.This hotel is located on a plateau about 15 minutes walk from Kusatsu Onsen Yubatake.The exterior has European-style white walls and red bricks, making it look like you've come to the West.The inside of the hotel has a structure that combines Japanese and Western styles, giving you a retro Showa era feel with a modern atmosphere.Rooms are available in a variety of sizes to suit everyone's needs, from solo travelers to couples, families, and groups.This time we stayed in the largest deluxe room.This room has two single beds and two sofa beds, making it perfect for families and groups!There is also a large TV set up, so you can have a nice evening drink while watching a movie.The room has an atmosphere that is irresistible to adults, with lighting and carpets that give off a Showa-era feel.You can see the Kusatsu plateau from the window, but please note that the view may vary slightly depending on the room.Also, there is a unit bath in the room, but if you are coming to a hot spring inn, you will be missing out if you do not take a bath in the hot spring!After checking in, I took a short break at the hot springs.The bathroom isn't that big, but since there aren't that many guests, everyone is spread out to use it 24 hours a day.I was lucky enough to be there twice and both times were reserved!This inn uses the Bandai Mine Source, one of the six hot spring sources in Kusatsu Onsen, which boasts the highest amount of hot water in Japan.Kusatsu Onsen's spring quality is acidic and has high bactericidal properties, so it is said to be effective against skin diseases.The tingly sensation you get as soon as you enter is addictive.After relaxing in the hot springs, you can't wait for dinner.Dinner is a fusion of Japanese and Western cuisine, and you can enjoy hearty creative dishes prepared by a chef who worked in the kitchen in Europe.The cuisine is a fusion of Japanese and Western cuisine, so each dish is well-balanced and you can enjoy it while also getting plenty of nutrition.The menu varies depending on the time of year, but since it was winter this time, I was happy to have hotpot and salt-grilled rainbow trout!When many people think of salt-grilled sweetfish, they may think of sweetfish, but once you try rainbow trout, you'll be hooked.It is true that river fish have strong tastes, but if you handle and cook them properly, most of those tastes will disappear.In the case of rainbow trout, it has a very strong taste, so by sprinkling it with a lot of salt and processing the internal organs before grilling, it becomes a delicious salt-grilled fish similar to wild fish or ayu.After finishing dinner, I headed back to the hot springs.If I were to go to a hot spring inn whenever I wanted, I would end up going back to it over and over again.After all, if you soak in a hot spring for a long time before bed, you can sleep better than usual...After getting out of the hot spring, you can watch a movie in your room, research information about Kusatsu Onsen, look back at photos, and relax.As the hotel is far from the Yubatake and is located on a plateau, I was able to sleep soundly without being bothered by outside noises.After waking up and breathing in the delicious mountain air, it was time for breakfast.Breakfast is Western or Japanese style.I was able to have the best breakfast time while listening to the morning sun filtering through the foliage and the rustling of the trees.The volume was so good for breakfast that I ate it all before I knew it.There are a variety of hotels and inns in the Kusatsu Onsen area, each with its own individuality, but we also recommend this one.I think it's especially perfect for those who like the Showa retro feel or are looking for a hideaway inn for adults!If you are looking for a place to stay in Kusatsu Onsen, why not stop by?

This was my second time using the hotel, and although it had been a while, it still had the nice atmosphere of a historic Western-style building.

The hot springs are quite hot. Not recommended for people who don't like hot food.

I was able to stay for less than 3,000 yen using points from travel sites and nationwide travel support.Perhaps because I was traveling alone, the only plans I could choose were a room without meals or breakfast. For breakfast, choose Western or Japanese food at 8:00 or 8:30 during C/I. I chose 8:30 because I wanted to go to Goza no Yu first thing in the morning.If I arrived early, I could store my luggage and receive a coupon for travel assistance, which was helpful. I was able to leave my luggage in the room.The facilities are old and the rooms have a retro feel, but they are clean.I took a bath at 6am, and the free-flowing Bandai hot spring water overflowed from the Zabazaba bathtub, and it was amazing! I woke up feeling hot.It's nice that it's a little far from the Yubatake and quiet, but it's quite dark at night, so I was a little scared to walk alone on my way back from the Nishi-no-Kawara Onsen open-air bath. Since it's on a hill, walking to each tourist spot was a good exercise. It was nice to see the autumn leaves.

The rooms were clean, the location was relatively close to the Yubatake area, and the parking lot was free, so I was able to leave my car parked and walk around the Yubatake area the next day.Unfortunately, there was a mistake on the part of the hostel during dinner, and the response was a bit dissatisfying.

small hotelThe cleaning is perfect and the floors are sparkling clean!The food was served hot and everything was delicious!It was a nice emotional hotel.

I stayed here for one night in May 2022. At this time of year, bright red tulips were in full bloom on both sides of the hotel entrance and it was very beautiful. The interior looks like a Western-style building.It took about 10 minutes to get to Yubatake. If you take a shortcut, you can go down a narrow side road and go uphill on the way back.If you take a detour, you can go on a larger road and go more slowly.The bath was not an open-air bath, but a small indoor bath, and the temperature was high, so I entered with great enthusiasm. lolDinner was mainly Japanese and Western food and I was full.The master was friendly and we talked about various things and had a good time.

The food was delicious and plentiful. The bath was just the right temperature and I could take a bath 24 hours a day, so it was comfortable. All the staff were very nice and I'm glad I stayed there.

During the Obon period, 2 people visited with a plan that included 1 night and 2 days and 2 meals ☺︎I think you can get to Yubatake in about 10 minutes ♨There were people from young to old, but the inside of the building was very quiet and we were able to spend a relaxing time ( ⸝⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝⸝ )✨Dinner and breakfast were both delicious 🍽 I was worried about whether I would be full because I had booked a smaller plan for dinner, but I was definitely full (lol)The hot springs were pleasant and the room was very clean o(^_^)oNormally it would cost 26,000 yen for two people, but thanks to the prefecture's campaign, it was reduced to 15,000 yen, and we also received a 3,000 yen gift certificate that can be used at Yubatake and the inn. I was surprised at how well it turned out 😳It was an inn that I would like to stay at again when I come to Kusatsu ☺
