Kusatsu is 7°C cooler in summer! Enjoy a cool stay at 1,200 m above sea level!
“Kusatsu is a wonderful place—cool winds blow from the snowy slopes of Mt. Shirane.”
Kusatsu is a highland town at an elevation of 1,200 meters—almost twice the height of Tokyo Skytree.
Even during the hottest months of July and August, the average temperature is around 18°C, and it rarely exceeds 30°C.
Cool and refreshing even in summer, it’s easy to see why Kusatsu is often called “the Tyrol of Japan.”
A few tips to help you enjoy Kusatsu in summer:
・Please expect cool weather even in summer (temperatures above 30°C are rare).
・We recommend bringing a light jacket or something to layer, just in case.
・Mornings and evenings can be especially chilly—please sleep with the windows closed and avoid dressing too lightly.
Summer in Kusatsu feels like -7°C! Enjoy a cool stay at 1,200 meters above sea level!
We sincerely look forward to welcoming you.
