Recent Reviews in Kusatsu

Urakusatsu Tou

10/10 Excellent

"The location is excellent, minutes walk to restaurants, shopping, Yubatake and Sainokawara Park. The room was spotless and the staff was so helpful. The on-site onsen (female side) was boiling hot! The only minor inconvenience was that cars were parked offsite so you needed to coordinate with staff each time you needed your vehicle."

Hotel JAL City Nagano

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at the JAL for 8 nights and was happy with the service. The location is great as it is a short walk to Zenkoji Temple, the Prefectural Museum and also to Nagano JR Station. Nagano was a fascinating city to visit and the JAL was situated in a good location for finding amenities such as shopping and food. I love to walk and I really enjoyed exploring the area around the hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Although my room was rather crowded with 3 beds, it was kept clean and well stocked. My only complaint was that the breakfast for a Westerner was very limited and got predictable very quickly. The food was very good, presented well and tasted fine but after 8 breakfasts eating the same things I was ready for a change."

Kanemidori

10/10 Excellent

"The staff and onset are the two highlights for this lovely hotel. Open air onsen is the best!! Would love to come back."

"The property offered a wide range of activities. Like the hotel, but I feel if it weren’t for the dated rooms I would have given them a 5 stars."

Yorokobinoyado Takamatsu

10/10 Excellent

"温泉は最高です。何度も入浴しました。Wi-fiが弱く、あまり使えなかった感じでした。二泊で部屋の清掃不要とさせてもらっていました。タオルセットは二つ準備されていたので問題ないと判断してしていましたが、散策から戻ると一つタオルセットと、バスタオルが回収されていました。これは正直やめてほしいと思いました。ですが、総合的には立地（湯畑へのアクセス）含めてエクセレントでした。ありがとうございました。"

When is the best time to go to Kusatsu?

The best time to go to Kusatsu is generally during the cooler months, from late autumn to early spring, particularly if you're seeking the quintessential onsen experience.For those who enjoy crisp weather and the beauty of autumn foliage, late October and November are ideal. The surrounding mountains are awash with reds, oranges, and yellows, making for stunning scenery while you relax in the hot springs. It's also a good time to enjoy outdoor activities like gentle strolls around the Yubatake (hot water field).Winter, from December to February, offers a magical experience with the chance of snow-covered landscapes, which adds a special charm to soaking in the outdoor onsen. The air is cold, making the warmth of the hot springs even more inviting. This period is particularly popular with couples looking for a romantic getaway, as the snowy scenery and cosy ryokans create a lovely atmosphere.If you prefer milder weather for exploring the town and its surroundings on foot, spring (March to May) is also a pleasant time.
