    The stay was refreshing with great amenities, especially the beautiful outdoor private bath in our room, which was perfect after a long day exploring nearby attractions like Yubatake and Sainokawara Open-air Bath. The dinner and breakfast buffets featured a delicious array of traditional Japanese dishes, making every meal a delightful experience. I also appreciated the convenience of the shuttle bus to the town center, especially during the snow. Overall, a fantastic getaway for relaxation and comfort.

    Had an epic time exploring the grilled fish, it was a culinary gem! The onsen experience in my room felt like a ton of luxury, and the friendly staff hooked us up with insider tips for the best eats around Kusatsu.

    private onsen
    communication issues
    checkout policy

    The private onsen in the room was amazing.

    We faced communication issues with the staff who struggled with English, which added to our frustration. Our toilet broke at 9 PM, and we were left waiting until 11:30 PM for it to be fixed, which wasted our time. Additionally, the hotel shuts down all amenities and stores immediately after checkout, making it difficult for guests wanting to prolong their stay and enjoy the facilities.

    Relaxing Onsen Experience with Room for Improvement

    I enjoyed the outdoor private bath with its rejuvenating sulphuric water, a standout feature during my stay. The buffet offered a varied selection, but arriving early ensured the freshest items. Be prepared for steep walks if you have luggage, as the hotel lacks a shuttle service.

    large slippers

    The hot spring experience was memorable, and the

    staff were incredibly accommodating, especially when I needed assistance with the buffet for my mother. The onsen water was rejuvenating, while the semi-buffet dinner offered a variety of delicious options. However, I found the room slippers a bit too big.

    good value

    Just a good pick for a little getaway in Kusatsu with good value for cost. The sulphurous water in the outdoor bath was a standout experience for relaxation.

    outdoor bath
    family room
    hard pillows
    chaotic breakfast
    average dining

    The large family room was accommodating, but the pillows were uncomfortably hard. The relaxing outdoor bath provided a notable experience, especially with the highly sulphurous water. While the breakfast buffet offered a wide variety, the chaotic atmosphere detracted from the experience, potentially due to the large tourist group. Dinner included a mix of fresh buffet options, though the quality was underwhelming given the cost.
