Kusatsu Onsen
Hello,I am Matsu from J-hoppers Hida Takayama.
I went to Kusatsu Onsen the other day.
Kusatsu Onsen (草津温泉) is one of the top three ranked hot spring resorts located in Gunma Prefecture, northwest of Tokyo.
It took 4 hours for me to drive.
Takayama ⇒Matsumoto⇒Ueda⇒Kusatsu
↓Luckily,we saw cherry blossom trees in full bloom at Matsumoto castle on the way.
8 fo 10 people from Kansai area say Arima is the best onsen in Japan.
What do you think people from Kanto area say ?
I think they would say Kusatsu is the best onsen.
Yubatake is located in the center of the spa resort area and is the source of the hot springs .
Also it is a symbol of Kusatsu onsen.

If you come to Kusatsu,please should try definitely Yumomi .
Yumomi is the way of cooling the water that comes directly from the source.
By stirring the water with 1.8 m-long paddles, the water is cooled to a suitable bathing temperature.
I have a bad back.I tried it a little bit.
↓People sing a special song when doing Yumomi
There are 18 public onsens in Kusatsu that are free.
I tried 5 different onsens and all the onsens were really hot.
I think Kusatsu is not known well by foreigners.
I recommend you to go there if you can bathe in a hot onsen.
