I used it when traveling alone! This is a very comfortable inn where the husband and wife are kind.I came to visit the outdoor baths as if I were staying overnight without meals, but the open-air baths were so good that I ended up taking a dip in them many times. Although it was small, the hot water was very beautiful and felt great! I would definitely like to use it again! thank you very much.

When I visited the other day, I heard that they had changed their business format to only offer prepaid accommodation.There seems to be no provision of food or drinks.

The quality of the hot springs in Kusatsu Onsen is one of the best, incomparable to many other hot springs across the country, but there are many fine inns and the prices are not reasonable, so if you are going for a hot spring treatment, your wallet will be tight, or about 7,500 yen for a Saturday night stay. I was surprised that I could stay overnight without meals. The building is certainly not new, but it is perfectly cleaned and the toilets are spotless. There is Wi-Fi and a kettle in the room. The bathroom is also small, but there aren't many other customers, so there's a good chance you'll have it all to yourself. It is highly acidic with a pH of 2.0, and if you drink it, it has a sharp sulfur and sulfuric taste that hits your tongue, and the concentration of ingredients is amazing. There is no noise, and as you slowly close your eyes and let your hands and feet rest in the buoyancy of the water, you will feel that your body is having the most wonderful experience in the world as you enjoy Kusatsu's famous hot springs.

I used it for a night without meals.A quiet inn about 5 minutes walk from Yubatake.The couple who run the inn are also soft-spoken and very easy to talk to.I stayed for two nights this time, and by the time I left, I felt so comfortable that I didn't want to leave.I will use it again when I come to Kusatsu for hot spring treatment.

This is a cheap inn near Jizo-no-Yu. Payment can be made by barcode or credit card.The futon is fluffy and feels nice. The refrigerator, sink, and toilet are shared. The triple room is on the second floor.The bath is located on the basement floor and is accessed via a steep staircase. Separate by gender. The hot water is wonderful.Parking is available near the inn. It's spacious and comfortable.

It was a very quiet inn, and I was healed both physically and mentally. The bathroom was on the small side, but it was nice to have it privately. Of course, the quality of the spring water is also the best. As someone who is used to buffets, the amount of food was not enough, but it was very delicious. Definitely recommended for solo travelers.
