This was my third stay, and as always I was very satisfied with the meals, the baths, and the hospitality. The dinner in particular felt like a course meal, which made it enjoyable to savor at a relaxed pace. Being able to enjoy a variety of wines and sake with the coin system was also a real treat for anyone who loves alcohol. They also provided guidance on recommended spots for firefly viewing, and I was able to see countless fireflies dancing in the night. The mornings and evenings were cool, so the duvet came in handy. I would love to stay again.

I have stayed at accommodations in the Naraya Group many times. I like them because they offer room-only plans, some properties have in-room hot spring baths (not all rooms), and they are relatively new. For dinner, I have a few regular places, but I also enjoy trying different restaurants each time. “Yukawa Terrace” is in a great location—just a few minutes’ walk from Yubatake—and there are plenty of restaurants and souvenir shops nearby, which is very convenient. The hot spring water in the room is excellent quality. I come to Kusatsu for this water, so I was very satisfied. I park at the Yubatake Tourist Parking Lot and walk close to 10 minutes while pulling my suitcase, but it doesn’t bother me too much (though it may get tougher as I get older). I want the coffee machine from the room! (LOL) There is no lotion or cream among the amenities, so please be sure to bring your own. I will visit again.

The only downside was that it’s a bit far from Yubatake, but otherwise our stay was truly comfortable and satisfying. In any case, the interior is spacious, clean, and stylish. There are two types of baths plus a sauna, and there’s even a projector in the living room—our kids had a great time. It’s a Room that made us think, “We want to live in a place like this!” We’d love to stay again someday!

We stayed for two nights in a twin Room. On the first day, we made a Reservation for the private open-air bath and sauna, and it was wonderful. Kusatsu is known for having many very hot baths, but this one was at just the right temperature and felt great! Even without a Reservation, we were able to use the indoor bath privately whenever it was available. The Room was divided into a Japanese-style room with a TV and low table, and a Western-style room with beds. The washbasin featured beautiful pottery, which was lovely. The owner was friendly and kind—at check-in they marked plenty of restaurant recommendations on a map for us, and when we returned they asked if we had been cold while sightseeing. There was also a flashlight in the Room, which really helped for an evening walk. We would definitely like to stay here again when we visit Kusatsu!

We stayed in the Pine Building to spend some relaxing time as a family. The manager was very friendly and kindly explained everything, so we were able to enjoy a comfortable stay. We had planned a barbecue in the very spacious garden, but unfortunately it rained. We were told that rain-cover Facilities will be added soon, and this time they provided us with a parasol, which allowed us to enjoy it. The open-air bath exclusively for the Pine Building was spacious enough, and since it is fed directly from the hot spring source and runs slightly hot, we were able to adjust the temperature using the provided yumomi paddle and even try yumomi ourselves. We also enjoyed an evening stroll of about 10 minutes on foot to Yubatake and experienced Kusatsu at night. The surroundings were very quiet at night, allowing us to relax. As this is a relatively new Accommodation, everything felt very pleasant. We would love to stay again.

I stayed here this time because I wanted to relax in the Onsen. The large public bath fed by the Shirahata source was especially wonderful. The private bath with Yubatake water was hot, but I could take my time and unwind at my own pace, enjoying it while opening the window to cool off. I had seen in other Reviews that dinner is plentiful, so I held back from trying street food while exploring the area. As rumored, I was very satisfied with both the portion size and the taste. While I was dining, they prepared my futon and also thoughtfully replaced items like teacups and provided iced water—coming back from the Onsen to a refreshing drink of water was truly delightful. Stylish Accommodations such as Resort Hotels are popular these days, but this stay reminded me that a Japanese Ryokan feels most relaxing for Japanese guests. Thank you for a wonderful memory.

This Accommodation has only five Rooms, yet it has two private baths, and you can use them anytime if they are available. I used them four times. The hot water was excellent. It’s a 4-minute walk to Yubatake, but there are many slopes, so it was great to relax in the Accommodation’s private baths. There is also a convenience store nearby. The breakfast was generous and delicious! All the staff were very kind.

I only met the staff at check-in; after that, I didn’t really see anyone, and check-out is simple—just drop the key in the box. The Room was clean, and the bed was very comfortable. However, be careful with the bath water—it’s extremely hot (maybe around 50°C). It takes time to cool it down with the shower, so it’s not ideal if multiple people need to use the bath one after another.

The slopes are right in front, and rentals can be arranged at the Hotel, which was very convenient. The meals were luxurious, and we also received souvenirs.

My wife, my parents, and our dog stayed here. Some pet-friendly Hotels have lots of restrictions in the shared areas (like requiring a crate), so this time we chose this entire house rental. The Facility was clean and had a nice atmosphere, and the bath was very large for one person—very satisfying. There aren’t many items left out, so we felt at ease knowing our dog wouldn’t chew on anything. We didn’t include meals, but we ate out near Yubatake for dinner. For breakfast, we had bought various local foods at roadside stations during our trip, and we enjoyed them together as a family. There were hardly any people around the building, and it was wonderfully quiet—just the sound of insects—so we could relax. I also thought it would be a great place to bring friends visiting from overseas. Also, when we went to pick up the key, the foreign staff member was very kind and helpful. Thank you very much.

I had the entire second floor with three Rooms all to myself, and I was able to relax very comfortably. The Rooms were clean, and the futons were fluffy. The bathroom was also very clean. The location is convenient as well. I’ll be back! Thank you very much.

The Onsen water quality was excellent. From arrival until departure the next morning, we could use the large public bath at any time, and we enjoyed soaking in it many times. The building was kept very clean, and the staff at the Accommodation were wonderful. Although it is located in the central area of Shiga Kogen, it is a quiet environment. The air felt completely different from the heat down below. I think it is also a great base for trekking to places like Takamagahara and Higashidateyama. The only disappointment was that the weather was bad, so we couldn’t see the spectacular Northern Alps view that should have been visible from the window. Next time, I’d like to come back for a retry—possibly during ski season as well.

I stayed at Zen in Kusatsu Onsen, and while many accommodations now cost over 10,000 yen even with no meals included, this place was under 6,000 yen. The amenities were well-equipped, and the private rooms ensured privacy, which made me very satisfied. Additionally, there are day-use onsens nearby where I could fully enjoy Kusatsu Onsen. I would love to stay here again when touring in Kusatsu Onsen.

The Onsen is on the small side, but since there are only about eight guest groups, you can relax and enjoy it at your own pace. Meals are served in semi-private dining areas, so you can dine comfortably. The menu is more than satisfying, with pork shabu-shabu, a sashimi platter, and tempura. You can also enjoy the outdoor Onsen—just as you’d expect from Kusatsu Onsen.

I stayed here for one night on the second night of my five-night solo trip to Kusatsu Onsen from Fukuoka, and I’m glad I was able to get a Reservation. I had heard that Kusatsu Onsen has various types of spring water, so I chose this Ryokan because it has a great reputation for its water quality and allows solo guests to enjoy the Onsen. Just as expected, the Onsen was truly wonderful, and I enjoyed soaking many times. I also visited several public baths—hot, tingling springs like Jizo-no-Yu felt great—but Gokurakukan’s comfortably warm Onsen was perfect for a long soak. It’s also recommended for those who don’t like very hot water. Towels were available in the Room as well as in the changing area by the bath, which was very convenient. Another nice point was being able to go to the Onsen without passing through the front desk, making it easy even early in the morning. The Room was clean, and the toilet was exceptionally spotless. I was happy to find Matsumura manju served with tea snacks. The free breakfast was delicious—the bread was wonderfully chewy. I also had dinner at the restaurant on the second floor; both the curry doria and carrot salad were excellent. At check-out, the owner and staff kindly gave me detailed sightseeing tips around Kusatsu. Thanks to them, I learned about Jigokudani Monkey Park in Nagano Prefecture and went there using car sharing. After waiting about 30 minutes, I was lucky enough to see monkeys soaking in an Onsen—it was amazing. The next day, I used car sharing again and enjoyed Ikaho’s hot spring buns and Mizusawa udon as well. It became a truly memorable solo trip. The hospitality was warm and welcoming, and next time I’d love to stay with my family—thank you very much.

It was worth extending our trip from Karuizawa to Kusatsu Onsen just to visit Kimuraya. We truly enjoyed a relaxing time, and the Shirahata no Yu with its free-flowing Onsen water was so smooth it felt like it embraced the body. Even my husband, who isn’t particularly fond of hot springs, seemed to appreciate its charm and went in multiple times. The staff members were all wonderful as well.

The renovated traditional building offers a modern Japanese-style Ryokan with friendly and helpful staff. The Onsen is available as a private bath, and you can use it anytime if it's vacant. There are three baths, each supposedly at different temperatures, but they all seemed to be the same temperature and quite hot. The much-talked-about breakfast was also delicious.

Stayed in summer. We were able to relax, and it would be perfect if there were a fan in the changing room.

I stayed at this Accommodation during the summer season.\nThe entire building had undergone major renovations, and it was very clean, making for a comfortable stay.\nThe food was delicious, and the chef-made omelets at the breakfast buffet were outstanding.\nIn addition to the large public bath, there was also a private family bath, and I could use the free massage chairs. After bathing, it was wonderful to cool off in the evening on the balcony on the third floor while enjoying a beer.\nIn winter, staying in the Ichinose area offers better access to the ski resort, so I would love to stay here again if I have another chance during summer.

With check-in at 2:00 PM, this Hotel is recommended if you arrive in Kusatsu early and want to sightsee around Yubatake first. However, it’s hard to tell from the map, but walking from the Hotel to the downtown area where Yubatake is located requires going up and down a very steep hill. It’s about a 10-minute walk one way, but the uphill stretch is quite tough. The in-house Facility, public bath, and Room had been renovated and were clean and comfortable, but I was unlucky with my Room—the sound of rain hitting the Facility roof outside the window was loud and made it hard to sleep—so I rated the guest room two stars lower and overall satisfaction one point lower.
