The location was very good, close to the bus terminal. Also, all the rice I ate was delicious and I was very satisfied! I went to the cypress bath for a private bath, and the pleasant scent of cypress was very soothing.Kusatsu is far away so I don't get to visit it often, but I would like to stay there again the next time I visit.

Whatever I had for dinner was delicious.I was also happy to be able to relax in a private room.The tempura in particular was crispy and crunchy, and the corn, my favorite, was also very sweet.The three private hot springs were fed directly from the source, so it was a little hot, but it felt great and I was able to soak in it slowly!The staff were very courteous and made me feel comfortable.

I used it for one night and two days.The narrow road leading up to the inn had a great atmosphere and I was a little excited. The meals, both breakfast and dinner, are very satisfying in terms of volume and content! The room had a retro-modern feel and was very relaxing. The landlady kindly lent me an umbrella and put away my folding umbrella...it was the best thing I could do. The hot springs and being able to choose between private baths were great!There was just one thing... it was disappointing that the plumbing in the toilet and the window frame of the room were full of mold. Everything else was very good, so that's the only negative point.However, it was a very good inn, so I would like to use it again!

It's a little far from Yubatake, but it's a good distance for a walk. The food was plentiful and delicious. I don't usually eat river fish for dinner, but it was very delicious. There are three baths that can be reserved for private use, so you can use them without hesitation.

The food, private hot springs, room, and customer service were all very good.I had the Joshu beef course for dinner, and was surprised by the variety of items including meat, fish, and desserts. I was very satisfied as the meat was tender and everything was delicious. For breakfast, there were lots of delicious rice accompaniments, and the rice was delicious.Also, since there aren't that many rooms, I was able to choose my favorite hot spring to enter at any time I wanted!I'm glad I decided to come here. If I have a chance to come to Kusatsu again, I would definitely make a reservation here.
