An adults-only Accommodation where every room features a private open-air Onsen bath with free-flowing natural hot spring water—stay at the bar and savor the Onsen.

Savor Kusatsu’s famed Onsen in the privacy of your Room, undisturbed. A small Accommodation with only four Rooms, each featuring a private open-air bath with free-flowing natural hot spring water. Open the door and you’ll find a bar counter. Your stay begins quietly with a welcome cocktail. Surrender to the waters, then head to dinner wrapped in the aroma of fire. Seasonal Japanese cuisine finished over a wood fire, paired with sake, wine, and cocktails— crafted into an evening to be enjoyed with all five senses. An exceptional time reserved for just eight guests per day. A new kind of stay: “spend the night at a bar and savor the Onsen.” Kusatsu Onsen VAN — a hidden retreat for adults.

  • Because it is located a little away from Yubatake, we were able to spend a very quiet and relaxing time. The interior has a refined, design-forward atmosphere, yet since the building was originally a cottage and has been renovated, it also feels wonderfully cozy with the warmth and scent of wood.The guest-room bath with free-flowing Onsen water direct from the source was a bit hot at first, but once we got used to it, it felt amazing and allowed us to fully enjoy Kusatsu’s Onsen. After bathing, we felt warmed through to the core and our skin felt pleasantly moisturized. Even the amenities such as lotion were high quality, and we could sense attention to detail throughout.Both dinner and breakfast were truly outstanding, and each dish reflected great care in ingredient selection. The vegetables, shiitake mushrooms, and Joshu beef grilled over a wood fire had an especially fragrant savoriness that left a strong impression. The octopus rice at dinner and the white rice cooked in an earthenware pot at breakfast were also exceptional—perfect with grated yam and bonito flakes. It was a meal where you could really appreciate how delicious the rice itself is.We are not very knowledgeable about wine or sake, but there was an impressive selection, and the well-informed master recommended options tailored to our preferences—making this Accommodation particularly appealing for those who love drinks.Some past Reviews included harsh comments, but after staying ourselves, we could clearly see sincere efforts to improve; it felt like this Accommodation continues to evolve into something even better.Even understatedly put, it was an exceptional stay. We were completely satisfied with everything—the Facility offerings, Onsen baths, cuisine, and hospitality. It was such a wonderful Accommodation that we would absolutely want to stay again when visiting Kusatsu.
