  • Kusatsu is Sakurai.

    I visit Kusatsu Onsen every year, and Sakurai Hotel is the best. First of all, the hot spring water is excellent. It also seems to have been renovated, and both the Room and the changing area were very clean. The hair dryer was the latest ReFa model.The food was delicious as well—especially breakfast, which left me completely full.The grilled salmon was great. I’d like to come again next year.

Notice from the Accommodation

  • [Notice of Changes to the Yubatake Shuttle Service (Mon, Aug 24 – Wed, Sep 23)]

    From Monday, August 24 to Wednesday, September 23, vehicle access will be restricted due to construction work on Chuo Yubatake Street.
    As it will be difficult to operate services to Yubatake, the destination will be changed to “Kusatsu Onsen Bus Terminal.”
    Yubatake can be reached on foot from the bus terminal (approx. 300 m).
    Shuttle Service from “Kusatsu Onsen Bus Terminal” will operate as usual; however, it may be crowded depending on the time of day.
    We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

  • [Enjoy a Highland Summer! Outdoor Pool Now Open]

    Our outdoor pool, located on a 1,200 m highland plateau, opened on Saturday, July 18. This year, in anticipation of extreme heat, we have extended the operating period through Sunday, September 27. To help you relax even more comfortably, we have also extended the opening hours until 17:00. Use is free of charge for staying guests. You may also use the pool before check-in—please feel free to stop by the front desk first.　　　
    　　　　　　　　　　　　
    Kusatsu Onsen is known for its refreshing highland climate, but some days can feel a bit chilly. For your comfort, we mix warm water into the pool so you can enjoy your time as pleasantly as possible.
    Even simply relaxing in the shade is wonderfully soothing—perfect for melting away summer fatigue.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

    With another very hot summer forecast this year, please take care to avoid heatstroke and enjoy a leisurely highland summer stay.

    [Operating Period] Saturday, July 18 – Sunday, September 27 (scheduled)

  • [National Route 292 / Shiga-Kusatsu Road Fully Reopens to Traffic from May 29]

    National Route 292 (Sessho Gate–Shibu Pass Gate) had remained closed even after the winter shutdown because the volcanic alert level stayed at “2” for an extended period. On May 15, 2026, the alert level was lowered to “1.” After preparations were completed, the entire route reopened and is passable 24 hours a day from 13:00 on Friday, May 29 until mid-November.

    ●Access prohibited around the crater●
    According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, an area within a 500 m radius of Yugama Crater is considered at risk of volcanic ash emission. In response, Kusatsu Town has designated the area around the crater (within a 500 m radius) as a restricted zone under the Disaster Countermeasures Basic Act. Therefore:
    ・Viewing Yugama is not permitted
    ・Hiking trails leading into the restricted zone are also unavailable for now
    ・Shirane Rest House and the summit parking lot will remain closed until preparations are complete

    ●Reopening details●
    [Period] From 13:00 on Friday, May 29, 2026 to mid-November
    [Section] Sessho Gate (Kusatsu Town) – Manza Junction (Tsumagoi Village)
    [Traffic control] With Alert Level 1 in effect, roads are fully open. *If the alert level rises, restrictions may be reinstated in accordance with evacuation plans.*

    ●Use outside the restricted zone●
    Even outside the restricted zone, reopening may take some time due to safety checks and preparation of parking areas and restrooms, as well as review of walking routes. Thank you for your patience.

    The Shiga-Kusatsu Road—home to Japan’s highest point on a national highway—feels like another world even in midsummer. Please enjoy the spectacular scenery while staying safe.
