Kusatsu Onsen Two Types of Hot Springs Iijima Inn

I was able to stay in a private room at an affordable price. The building isn’t new, but you can enjoy a retro Showa-era vibe. The bath felt like it was all to myself, and it’s close to Yubatake!

Located near the bus terminal just after entering the Onsen town, up a long mountain prefectural road. When you arrive at the parking lot, turn on your hazard lights and call the front desk; a staff member from the Ryokan will come shortly and guide you courteously. The building is very Showa-era, but you can fully enjoy the Onsen fed by two separate hot springs, and it’s less than a 5-minute walk to Yubatake—great value and time efficiency. If sightseeing is your main focus, this Accommodation couldn’t be better. I stayed here for a total of 5 nights over two consecutive years, and personally I highly recommend the vintage Showa massage chair (manual up-and-down adjustment!?).
