I'd been wanting to go here for a while as a day trip but heard it was too difficult. It's not. Just take the Shinkasen or the Shinjuku Liner and your up there in no time. So I decided to spend the night in this area...not my best choice. If your in this area Shika no Yu is excellent. Great sulfur waters, beautiful and clean. The history dates back to the 7th century and the onsen is old, rustic and charming. Nearby, there is a temple and the Valley of Jizo which you can enjoy in about 2 hours. If your an Onsen buff this is not to be missed. If your into 1st class and luxury...probably not the place to go. If you stay in the area nearby Nasu Harvest or Nasu Sanraku are very nice.

We have been to Kinosaki Onsen and enjoyed the onsen-hopping culture over there. In Kusatsu, onsen-hopping is not as flourishing. Kinosaki is the up-market cousin, attracting more foreign tourists than locals with its old charm - traditional buildings lining a beautiful canal that runs through the town, and many establishments offering boutique ryokan experiences complete with beautiful kimono or yukata for that instagram, and 7 public onsens free to visit as long as you are staying in 1 of the town's ryokans or hotels. Kusatsu, while its beauty pale in comparison with the yubatake in its town centre, appeals with more modest establishments and affordability. Unknown to many visitors, there are 3 public baths (free) to hop around. However, these baths do not have showering facilities. It is thus recommended that one stays in a ryokan or hotel that has a good onsen facility. This "poorer" cousin is actually richer. This area's springs' water is high in mineral content. Comparing the water quality, I would say that I enjoyed Kusatsu's water more. Both towns are accessible by JR transport. Kinosaki has its own train station (Kinosaki Station) while Kusatsu needs a JR bus connection from Naganohara-Kusatsuguchi Station. The JR bus timing coincides with the trains' arrival so connection is not a problem. The JR pass covers the JR bus from Nagonohara-Kusatsuguchi to Kusatsu Onsen. Winter and summer offers different scenery and atmosphere. Since summer is the low season, the town is relatively quiet. You can enjoy the onsen better without the crowd and at a discount off peak season prices.

After being refused from another onsen because in a group of 5 I was the one with tattoos (although very small), and not being allowed in even if covered them up, Tenzan accepted us and were nothing but friendly and kind. So nice and relaxing, despite having (unknowingly) made the mistake of starting with the last "pool" - the hottest. It was an incredible experience to quietly sit outside, in the rain, surrounded by bamboo and with your body submerged in warm water. Beware low blood pressure people! It will make it even lower so be very careful - you will feel dizzy/lightheaded in there and after. A little reading break in the nap/resting room is mandatory, where you can quietly enjoy the sound of the river running through a very small waterfall just outside two massive windows. Very beautiful views. A must-do for those who enjoy doing nothing! Afterwards we tried the food at the restaurant which was equally nice (see photos). First photo was in the morning, last photo was the time we left. That's how good of a time we spent there. Highly recommend!

Located about 5 minutes walk from Yubatake, offering two indoor onsen and an outdoor onsen with 2 pools. One of the indoor onsen has 6 pools in different temperatures. Quite challenging and good fun. We were very glad with our choices.

The most relaxing and special experience. They are trialling letting in visitors with tattoos. Any tattoos larger than about the size of a hand need to be covered with a flesh tone, waterproof, plastic bandage that can be purchased from the reception for a couple hundred yen. The staff were so friendly and all spoke quite good English. So many different bath options and lots of different add on options like massages etc. Huge relaxation/lounge areas and two restaurants. Simply cannot recommend it highly enough especially if you’re staying in the Shinjuku area.
