Kusatsu Onsen

🗺 Landmarks · , · ★4.3 (924)

Kusatsu Onsen is one of Japan's most famous hot spring resorts, nestled in the mountains of Gunma Prefecture at an elevation of 1,200 meters. The town centers around Yubatake (hot water field), a dramatic wooden water channel system where thousands of liters of naturally hot, mineral-rich water cascade through the town center, creating impressive clouds of steam. Visitors can experience traditional public bathhouses, foot baths, and ryokan inns while enjoying the therapeutic waters known for their high acidity and healing properties.

💡 Tips for Visitors

Many traditional bathhouses are cash-only, so bring yen. The resort is best visited in winter for stunning snow scenery and skiing, or autumn for colorful foliage. Most accommodations and major facilities have English signage, though learning basic bathing etiquette beforehand is recommended as tattoos may be restricted at some public baths.
