5/5
The deciding factor was that it was a 1 minute walk from Yubatake.Although the hot spring is small, there are private baths available, so you can use it as a family bath whenever you like. There is also a large public bath.The hot springs in Kusatsu are generally hot, and there are few that are lukewarm, so it may be hot for children.To ensure that the bathroom is always clean, employees clean it and replenish the amenities every time someone enters the bathroom.It is a wonderful welcome to receive cold tea jelly upon arrival.It's amazing that there are detailed amenities above and below the bathroom. You don't have to bring anything at all!It's amazing that when I walk in front of an employee, I hear something called out to me.Apparently it's okay to wear a yukata 👘 to walk around the city, and on this day we were blessed with just the right temperature, and at night, you could see people walking around in yukata, and you could see the yukata at each inn, giving it a nice atmosphere. ♪It was a paradise-like place with Jizoyu directly behind it and another free hot spring just 10 steps across.

I visited Tokyo in the second half of September, when it was still hot.An inn near Yubatake.The private bath felt hot at first.You will gradually feel better.The bathhouse that is not a private bath isIt's just the right amount of heat.I tried to go to bed at 11pm, but it was so noisy outside. However, since I slept with earphones in place, there was no damage.Regarding riceI only ate breakfastI don't know about dinnerWith a hearty breakfastMoreover, it is healthy.The ideal breakfast.

I visited GW. I arrived quite early, just before noon, so I asked if I could park in the parking lot, and they kindly let me park there, which was very helpful. The location is right in front of the Yubatake field, making it a quaint inn where you can even hear the sound of the hot springs flowing. Although the building is showing its age, it was kept very clean and there were flowers placed in important places, which was nice. I can hear people talking in the next room quite clearly, but it depends on the person next door, so I guess it's hit or miss. The hot springs have family baths that can be used late at night and early in the morning, so I was very satisfied with my stay, which was truly a hot spring experience. I would like to stay here again when I go to Kusatsu.

When I tried to ask about the business hours of the day trip hot spring over the phone, I was told, "It's already closed for today," and hung up on me.I understand that you are busy, but considering that you work in the customer service industry, the response was strange.

The hot spring hotel is located in the middle of the scenic spot, with a strategic location. It is a small and exquisite hotel. The hot springs in the hotel are open 24 hours a day. …

Loved this traditional ryokan in kusatsu right next to the hot spring in the city center. They have a private onsen to use for free upon availability which we enjoyed a lot. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast with view to the spring is definitely a highlight.

Although the inn itself is old, it was well-maintained and had an overall clean feel. Since it was February, there were Hina dolls of various shapes on display, which was wonderful.
