This is the only inn in Kusatsu Onsen that continues to preserve the culture of ``hot spring therapy''.The prices are reasonable, there are no duplicate menus even for long-term stays, and the hot springs can be reserved for private use without gender discrimination.The people at the inn were very kind, and I think it's really wonderful that even if you're traveling alone, you can experience the hot springs at Kusatsu Onsen without feeling lonely.It's very accessible as you can easily go to Yubatake and Nishi-no-Kawara, and it's easy to buy souvenirs and eat out.I sincerely hope that Kusatsu Onsen will continue to preserve this culture in good health.

It was my first time visiting.I stayed at Kusatsu Onsen for 3 nights and 4 days after hearing that it was an inn that offered hot spring therapy.The location is a little uphill after passing through the souvenir district from Yubatake and turning left at the west river entrance.There is a private parking lot opposite the inn.The baths are sourced from the Yubatake source and there are two baths.I visited you in September.The room is a Japanese-style room and does not have an air conditioner, but a fan will keep you cool.If you open the window at night, you're likely to catch a cold.Home-cooked meals can be delivered to your room. It was delicious.As a result of the hot spring treatment, my body has become lighter and I can easily move from a chair or bed.

This is the third time I used it in 2024/6. I think the essential items are a bath towel, two small towels, a toothbrush, toothpaste, a quick-drying T-shirt for the room, and a steteco. You can get one yukata provided, but you'll get pretty wet with sweat, so I use the yukata to go between the room and the bath. I didn't bring any with me this time due to luggage, but it would be nice to have a chair.Beer lovers spend a lot of time at hot springs, but Mokubei Supermarket is a convenient 5-minute walk up the hill. Although the bathroom is separated, some rooms have a refrigerator.It's a hot spring inn, so all the other guests are quiet. This is a comfortable inn that takes care to make everyone's stay comfortable.

A rare hot spring inn in Kusatsu Onsen♨️However, you can stay for 2 nights or more.The building is old, but the two hot springs (Yubatake source) that can be reserved for private use, the communal toilets, and the area around the front desk have been renovated and are well maintained and clean.The meals served in each room from 8am to 6pm are delicious, warm, and home-cooked.Although it's different from the food you'd get at a ryokan, you'll feel like you're relaxing at home while watching TV.If I didn't have enough, there was a supermarket and side dish store nearby, so I used the shared refrigerator and microwave (I don't drink, so I stocked up on beer and snacks).It's comfortable because you keep your own keys and leave them alone, but it's an old wooden building so you should be careful about noise.During the day, you can enjoy the outdoor baths, take a walk on the cycling path, and Kusatsu is a hot spring resort where you can stay without getting bored as there are many restaurants.I've only been able to stay for 2 and 3 nights so far, but it will become a regular stay from now on.Also, from the bus terminal, you can get there faster if you go straight across the street from the supermarket in the back.Parking available at the inn (charges apply)

Due to worsening skin disease, I was reluctant to go to Kusatsu for a trial hot spring treatment at the recommendation of my doctor♨Really cheap for a 4 night stay!Recommended if you try it⭕Since there are only a few rooms, you can use either of the two private baths at any time 😊However, the comfort of the room is terrible (T_T)The walls are thin and you have to be careful of other people when entering and exiting.The toilet, sink, refrigerator, and microwave are all shared, so you can use them while listening to other people's footsteps💧The food...I'm sorry, but it's at the level of hospital food.There are many places to eat outside, so I ate out quite often and bought cup noodles at a convenience store to make ends meet.It can be said to be cheap and homely,I just can't do the next one⤵️The hot springs are amazing❗Effective from the first day, no medicine required❗Is it magic? It was more effective than any medicine I thought🙆✨I think there are individual differences, but when it comes to hot springs, Kusatsu is the place to be!If you are like me and are clinging to your heart, please come to Kusatsu ♨✨
