Yubatake

Kusatsu is recognized along with Gero and Arima as one of Japan's three most famous hot spring resorts. The Yubatake (Hot Water field) is a central meeting and sightseeing spots in Kusatsu Onsen. This is the source water field for the bubbling Onsen water supplied throughout Kusatsu village. An abundant quality of hot water with a strong acidity of pH2.1, gives the water strong anti-bacterial powers with superior therapeutic and spiritual qualities, and has attracted many people for hundreds of years. The Yubatake (hot water field) is the symbol of Kusatsu Hot Spring. Located in the center of the spa resort, Yubatake is the source of hot springs that gush some 4,000 liters of hot water per minute amid clouds of rising steam. This so-called "hot water field" is surrounded by a promenade made of ceramic roof tiles and there is even a bench in the shape of Mt. Shirane, a nearby volcano. Here, visitors can stroll after taking a bath and relax while enjoying the unusual and very warming atmosphere of this unrivaled resort.

The source of the Kusatsu Hot Springs water is very impressive with the hot water running out at 52 C at this mountain town located at about 1,200 meters. Lots of little shops and places to eat. Several demonstrations throughout the day of people at a location close by of people stirring this hot water to help cool it down a bit.

Kawayu Onsen

Reviewed By couteaufin - Whitchurch, United Kingdom

Dress in hotel dressing gown, swimsuit and flip-flops and cross the (quiet) road, descending to the river by easy stone steps or cross over the bridge (if busy) and try the other side. Enjoy the soothingly warm pool while naturally hot water is conveyed by bamboo piping to your bath. Relax.....

Yoroushi Onsen

Reviewed By pollyoppy - Ormskirk, United Kingdom

Very comfortable and stylish yet rather expensive. Good onsen facilities.We went in hopes of seeing the Blakistons fish owl and were lucky on our second night. Rooms are very large and all face the river. Open fire in the lobby. Great kaiseki dining in separate booths. Very good food selection at breakfast buffet. We also saw red foxes and sable from the lobby.
