Only 10 rooms set on a vast 5,000-tsubo estate—unwind in Kusatsu’s renowned hot springs and abundant nature.

Situated on a 5,000-tsubo property, Tsutsujitei features approximately 3,000 tsubo of natural forest transformed into a rustic garden. This wooden property offers a serene retreat where you can experience the changing seasons, shifting shadows, gentle breezes, the sound of rain, and dancing snow, all while enjoying distant views of the Shirane mountain range. As a property close to nature, it provides a slow passage of time and moments of tranquility. Welcome to Tsutsujitei, the hot spring village where azaleas bloom.

  • If you’re looking for a place to stay in Kusatsu Onsen, this is it.

    It was a wonderful ryokan. I was very particular about choosing a place to stay, and it took me about 15 hours in total searching across Ikkyu, Agoda, Rakuten Travel, and TikTok. I wanted a ryokan rather than a hotel; kaiseki rather than a buffet; private dining or in-room meals rather than a dining hall; a Japanese-style breakfast; an open-air bath with natural scenery; reservable private baths or hot-spring water in the room; a quiet property without noisy group tours; within walking distance of Yubatake; a spacious room for three people; on-site payment rather than credit-card prepayment, and more. In the end, I was able to stay in an ideal location and it was fantastic. I was especially satisfied with the open-air baths in the morning and at night, and the delicious meals served in a private dining room. Our arrival ended up being later than planned due to our circumstances, but they kindly accommodated us, for which we are very grateful. Since it’s such a major tourist destination, I assumed it would be all hotels, but I’m so glad there is an authentic restaurant-style ryokan like this—thanks to it we had an amazing time and were truly happy.

  • I want to stay here again!

    My spouse and I visited again for the first time in two years. It was September, but Kusatsu already felt cold to us, and when we mentioned it to the staff, they promptly turned on the floor heating and the room became nice and warm. Also, the bath water felt a little lukewarm, so we called to ask about it; someone came right away to adjust it, and it became the perfect temperature. They even brought a bath towel so their feet wouldn’t touch the bath mat directly, and when leaving they stepped out without wearing socks—sorry for making you rush.We thoroughly enjoyed the food two years ago as well, but back then it felt more traditional; this time there were many new ideas and it felt quite different. When the proprietress came to greet us, we asked whether the head chef had changed, and she told us it was still the same chef who has continued refining his craft. The dishes were not only creative but also truly delicious.We also really appreciated having a room with two toilets, which is quite rare.The main reason we come for hot springs is of course the water itself, and as expected in Kusatsu, it was wonderfully soothing. Opening the window let in pleasantly cool air, and we enjoyed soaking many times.Please let us visit again. Thank you very much.

    September–October 2026 Seasonal Menu

    As the morning and evening breezes begin to hint at autumn, Kusatsu’s daytime temperatures settle around 20°C, and we welcome a season of crisp, refreshing highland air.
    September 9 marks Choyo no Sekku, also known as the Chrysanthemum Festival. Since ancient times, people have entrusted chrysanthemums with wishes for longevity and good health, praying to age in wellness. This month’s cuisine is prepared with hopes for a bountiful harvest season, featuring celebratory touches of abundance. We also offer nourishing dishes rich in gentle flavors to help soothe summer fatigue.
    We hope you enjoy these deepening autumn moments while surrounded by clear air and the warmth of our Onsen.


    Two Appetizers: Chrysanthemum dressed dish / Lightly seared scallop / Grilled-and-marinated maitake mushroom / Chrysanthemum sake
    Soup: Hamo (pike conger) “Hounen” soup / Matsutake mushroom / Yuzu zest
    Warm Dish: Soft-shelled turtle “Kinpa” style / Ginkgo nuts
    *The meal will be served as a kaiseki course (9 dishes).
    *Menu items may change depending on ingredients available on the day.
