The room is old, but there aren't many pet hotels in Kusatsu Onsen, so it's a good idea.There are a lot of dishes, but they are average. In the summer, the window fan seemed to change its settings on purpose and stop working, making it difficult to sleep at night. The staff is kind, but all the facilities are disappointing.It's the management's policy.I cannot recommend Kusatsu Onsen.

As the hotel claims to be a pet-friendly accommodation, a lot of consideration has been taken.All the employees were very friendly.The pet's name was posted at the entrance to the private dining room, and the woven animal underneath was decorated with the dog's breed and gender, which was a nice touch.I just bought it and took it home (lol)I had a relaxing stay for one night on a weekday during summer vacation.I wanted to relax on the tatami mats, but unfortunately, there was grass all over them.There also seems to be a dock run attached.The room was spacious, equipped with a large cage, and the PVC floor made it safe for my pet.Isn't this the perfect accommodation for traveling with your pet?

This hotel is located on the outskirts of Kusatsu Onsen.Enjoy a private bath.The food was too much to eat.The room is large enough for the dog to run around.I used it on April 14th, but when I woke up in the morning, it was snowy 😭The day before, I spent the night in my car at the Yubatake Kanko parking lot. My muscles hurt from all the hills😓I had always wanted to go there, so I enjoyed it.

Kusatsu Onsen is a hot spring inn where you can stay with your precious dog.Although the building is old, it was well maintained and there was no pet odor, making it a comfortable stay.I was able to enjoy Kusatsu Onsen, and the food was delicious and satisfying as I was able to spend time with my dog ​​in a private room.

An inn where you can stay with your precious dog!I felt it was a bit expensive because there was no food for the dog and there were few supplies 🙏The hospitality of the people was very pleasant.

Although it is old, the room is quite spacious. I can't say it's luxurious because I'm bringing my pet with me. The food is a little inferior to other pet hotels. Even if you include an additional charge for two people on a weekday, it will still cost you 60,000 yen.
