The location was a little bit of a walk from the bus terminal and the main part of town but we loved staying in this place. There were indoor and outdoor public and private baths, and it was a great touch to have the ability to make the public baths private between 9 pm and 8 am at no additional cost. We did the half board option for food and it was really great to experience traditional japanese cuisine for breakfast and dinner.

Nice hotel
Posted 16 May 2018It takes about 15minutes walk from Yubatake. This hotel has private onsen, you can relax and take your time here. Nice breakfast.

Amazing and always smiling staff, great dinner and breakfast, and loved the private use of the baths, including the communal ones late at night. A little far of a walk with luggage but still manageable.

Nice japanese style inn.
Posted 12 Feb 2017If you go here expecting a regular western hotel experience you chose the wrong place. This is a japanese style inn, meaning open air bath and futon.

Nice hotel in Kusatsu for leisure
Posted 29 Jun 2016 on HotelsStaff are really nice, and the breakfast is pretty good. You can easily commiunicate with staff even you don't understand Japanese.

Decent ryokan in Kusatsu
Posted 12 May 2016 on HotelsThe ryokan is not exactly in the middle of Kusatsu-onsen, but a bit on the periphery. Since they don't provide a pick up service, you have to take a taxi or walk from the bus station (around 10mins, slightly downhill). The same deal if you want to go to the town center, you'd have to walk about 10-15mins (a little downhill to flat terrain).
Plus:
- the rate is one of the most reasonable in the area
- private onsen
- decent size room
- strong, free wifi
- delicious and reasonably priced breakfast and dinner
- massage chair. FREE!
Minus:
- the location is a bit far from the town center area, a bit inconvenient to get in and out. Tough if you are carrying a big or heavy luggage. But the proprietor did provide me a lift to the bus station when I left
- most of the rooms are on the 2nd floor. You have to carry your own luggage upstairs, which did not happen to me at other ryokan
- meals are served in the dining room, instead of the usual, in the privacy of your own room
All in all, it's not bad. The service could have been more attentive.
