[2025 Kusatsu ] Travel Guide for Kusatsu Onsen (Updated Mar)

#Hot spring #100 ways to travel 🛕 Kusatsu Onsen The name of the onsen here may not be well-known to Thais, but if Japanese people ... it is considered a quality onsen source that is very famous. 🧩 Kusatsu onsen must travel to Gunma Prefecture. It is not difficult but not easy. It is an onsen with the largest amount of natural hot water in Japan. And the hot water is highly acidic. After soaking, the skin will be smooth. 🧊 This place stands out with a large hot spring. The gushing of hot water has become a symbol of the city. There is a wooden gutter called "Yubatake" that transports this natural hot water to the ryokan or public bathhouse in the city. 🍂 We like to come here in winter and at night wear a yukata with a coat. Come out and sit around the hot spring to find food at the supermarket or street food on the side of the road. The atmosphere here is really great.

Kusatsu Onsen is located in Gunma Prefecture and is considered one of the oldest hot springs in Japan with excellent water quality. Stroll through the alleys in the falling snow, feel the heat emanating from the hot springs, and completely relax your body and mind. Safe hotels may provide traditional yukata, so you might as well give it a try to blend into the Japanese cultural atmosphere. 🎎 At Kusatsu Onsen, in addition to enjoying the hot springs, you can also taste local delicacies such as udon noodles and hot spring boiled eggs. At night, bathing in an open-air hot spring under the stars is definitely an unforgettable experience. Winter here is a treasure land surrounded by warmth and beauty! 🌌🍜 In addition to hot springs and delicious food, there's a wealth of culture and history to explore. Visit local shrines and temples to experience the traditional Japanese religious atmosphere. In winter, the scenery around Kusatsu Onsen is picturesque, with snowflakes falling on ancient buildings and quiet lakes, as if you are in a winter landscape painting. Why not take a walk by the lake, enjoy the snow scenery, and listen to the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, as if time has quietly stopped here. Find inner peace and tranquility in this peaceful place. 🏞️🛤️ #kusatsu hot spring #japan winter travel #japanese culture Address: Kusatsu, Kusatsu Town, Azuma County, Gunma Prefecture Opening hours: 9:00 - 22:00 every day

Visited Kusatsu Onsenkyo. It's great that all the tourist attractions are within walking distance here. It's deep in the mountains so access isn't great, but the best part is being able to enjoy the hot springs. The hot springs never get cold. It seems that if you don't bathe in a hot spring every day, it doesn't have much effect, but it still feels really good, so I think it must be good for your body. #2021c #HotSpring

#0yentripJanuary2025 Kusatsu Onsen was the best spot for healing ♨️. As I walked through the hot spring town, the steam from the hot springs rose along with the smell of sulfur, and I felt as if I had entered another world. While strolling around the Yubatake, I enjoyed a foot bath and hot spring eggs, and was able to refresh my mind and body. While soaking in the hot springs, it seemed like all the fatigue of the day melted away. After that, we went to Tomioka Silk Mill. Here, we were able to learn about the historical buildings and their roles that supported Japan's industrial revolution 🏭. On the tour of the factory, we were able to actually see the old-fashioned machines and processes, and it was a valuable experience to touch on the importance of the silk industry and its development. The building itself was beautiful, and I could feel the atmosphere of the time, and I was able to spend a quiet time while learning about history. Both the relaxation of Kusatsu Onsen and the history of Tomioka Silk Mill were wonderful experiences.

Take you to check in at the hot spring ♨️ Kusatsu Onsen ♨️ One of the 3 best hot spring towns in Japan 🇯🇵 #KusatsuOnsen is located in Gunma Prefecture. You can travel from #Tokyo, but the admin went from #Takasaki, which is also from Tokyo. For friends who come to visit around Tokyo and want to soak in a comfortable hot spring, walk around and relax in the old city, and eat delicious food, you must stop by Kusatsu Onsen at least once. This time, I would like to take you around #Yubatake, a landmark in the center of the city. The highlight is a large waterway that flows along a large wooden rail. Anyone who goes there must stop here first. As for the hot spring that my friends in the gang used, I recommend ♨️ Otaki no yu, a traditional hot spring (last picture) Admission fee ¥900, towel fee ¥250 Here, there are many pools to soak in, ranging from slightly hot to very hot. But there are many hot springs to soak in. Unfortunately, I had little time this time and the wound from my back surgery had just healed, so I couldn't soak in the onsen here because they said it was good for the skin. But I did get to soak my feet, which was great! And most importantly, it was free! ☺️😉 🚌 Travel: (There are 2 sections) Section 1 1. From JR Ueno Station, take the Limited Express train directly to Naganoharakusatsuguchi Station or 2. From JR Ueno Station, take the Shinkansen to JR Takasaki Station, then take a local train to Naganoharakusatsuguchi Station Section 2 Take the bus (Stop 3 For Kusatu-Onsen) in front of the station to go to Kusatsu Onsen.

How to get there - Take the train to Karuizawa and take the bus to the village Tourist attractions - Kusatsu Onzen Hotels - Kusatsu Onsen Ryokan Yoshinoya Restaurants and food - BBQ restaurants in Kusatsu Shopping - Karuizawa Highlights - It is a famous Onzen tourist spot in Gunma Prefecture. There are many places to walk around the restaurants and there are shows. The more snow falls, the more beautiful it is. I like this place very much. It is worth staying. The accommodation is not far from Yubatake and the bus station. The room is spacious. There is an onsen in the accommodation. Separate for men and women, but the bathroom is shared. It is very clean and comfortable. I stayed in mid-February 2024. The weather was unstable. At first, there was no snow. But in the afternoon and evening, the snow fell non-stop. It fell until the windows were full of fluffy snow. I woke up in the morning and it was white. I like it very much. On the way back, I stopped by Kuruizawa outlet shopping and took the train back to Tokyo for about 1 hour. #kusatsuonsen #Gumma #japan #kusatsu #traveljapan2024 #traveljapanbymyself

I went to Kusatsu (Kusatsu) Onsen, which is about 3 hours from Tokyo. As soon as I got there, the hot spring scent was so nice. Even though I went in the summer, it was chilly because it was in the mountains. If you go in the winter, I recommend dressing as warmly as possible! I went with my boyfriend, but it seems like a great place for couples to go! ♥️#TokyoSuburbs #Couples #KusatsuOnsen

Kusatsu In addition to the hot springs, there are also beautiful stories along the way.

Kusatsu Onsen is one of the three most famous hot springs in Japan. In addition to soaking in the hot springs, there is also a unique landmark on the hot spring street. The spring water keeps gushing out, and white steam is flying all over the sky. If you get tired of walking, you can experience the foot bath. This time I tried the foot bath at Nishi-no-Kawahara Park. It wasn't crowded and I could enjoy the beautiful scenery nearby. In addition, there are many large and small public baths in the Kusatsu Onsen area that can be used for free. This time, we tried three of the larger public hot springs, Shirahata-no-Yu, Chiyo-no-Yu and Jizo-no-Yu. If you go at night, you can basically occupy the entire hot spring, which is a very interesting experience😎 #Kusatsu Onsen #Japan's Three Most Famous Hot Springs #Kusatsu Onsen Yubatake #Kusatsu Free Public Hot Springs #Tokyo Attractions #Tokyo Travel
