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.

Kusatsu Onsen

Reviewed By chenoa

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.

Sai no Kawara Rotenburo

Reviewed By yakkun-h - Tokyo Prefecture, Japan

It is a very big outdoor bath along the river. The hot water is good and the scenery is also the best. There is no washing place, so it is attention because it is only hot water. 川沿いにあるとても大きな露天風呂です。 湯加減も良いし、景色も最高です。 洗い場はなく、お湯だけなので注意です。

This was my second time to visit. The first many years ago with my kids, and this time with my grandson. Although it is quite run-down, it is a great place to visit since it houses a wide range of animals, fish, serpents. Kids love to feed some of the animals. We had an enjoyable 2 hour visit.
