"The Focus on Spring Quality": Kusatsu Onsen's Free-Flowing Hot Springs

Kusatsu Onsen is blessed with excellent spring water quality and an abundant supply of hot spring water.
Historical records show that people, even during the Sengoku period (Warring States period), traveled there on horseback, visiting the area to seek healing from illness.
The culture of therapeutic hot springs has also been passed down, and perhaps the main reason why so many people still love Kusatsu Onsen today is the blessings of nature.

Kusatsu Onsen, a famous hot spring Kusatsu in Japan

Kusatsu Onsen boasts the largest natural hot spring water output in Japan, at 32,000 liters per minute.
In particular, our inn's hot spring source is the "Bandai Gensen," which boasts the largest volume of hot spring water in Kusatsu Onsen.
Because it boasts powerful sterilizing properties and various therapeutic effects, the hot spring water is used directly from the source and flows continuously.
Enjoy the famous Kusatsu Onsen to your heart's content in the large public bath and open-air bath (with alternating use).

    Cautions
    The baths are separated into indoor baths for men and women, but there is only one open-air bath, so it is switched between men and women every day.
    (Example) On the day of hotel check-in, there is a men's-only open-air bath, and the next day only the indoor bath is available.
    Instead, that day becomes a women-only open-air bath, and the baths alternate every day.
  • Sauna

    Both men's and women's facilities include sauna rooms.
