Onsen Hopping in a Town Rich in Tradition
Kusatsu, this picturesque town is one of Japan’s best known onsen resorts. The town centers around Yubatake, a hot water field that emits large quantities of mineral-rich water from Kusatsu’s main spring—and has had to get creative when it comes to ways of cooling it down. With one of the most magical sights in Japan, some beautiful traditions and plenty to test yourself with, this break will leave you relaxed and ready to take on the world.
Kusatsu Onsen is rich in tradition. You can watch yumomi, a ceremonial water-stirring performance, wander around the town in a yukata robe, and stay in one of the many ryokan inns around Yubatake. There are also several public onsen, including traditional baths Gozanoyu and Otakinoyu, and the outdoor bath of Sainokawara Open-Air bath.
