Kazumi Ichinoyu is incredibly conveniently located right in the heart of Kusatsu. The hotel itself is very clean, with a modern Japanese ambiance that made for a wonderfully relaxing stay. The free-flowing hot spring baths are a bit on the warmer side, but they're incredibly soothing and truly melt away your fatigue. Yubatake is also within walking distance, making it perfect for sightseeing. I felt this inn offered a great balance of price and comfort, allowing us to fully enjoy Kusatsu without breaking the bank.

It has the air of a long-established establishment, and the front desk is staffed by veterans, so you can feel at ease. They don't offer trendy services, but the relaxed atmosphere speaks to their history.
The Chinese food is excellent! Takeout is available.
Personally, I like the lobby atmosphere, which is similar to that of the old Okura lobby!
I stayed at this onsen hostel and had a pleasant experience. The location is excellent—very convenient for exploring the area. The staff spoke English, which made communication smooth, and the place had a nice mix of Japanese and Western atmosphere. Everything was clean and comfortable. That said, I was hoping for a more traditional, authentic onsen experience. Still, it’s a great option for travelers looking for comfort and accessibility.
The hotel is not far from the Kusatsu central area, about an 8-minute walk from the Kusatsu bus stop. I had booked a tatami room, but was given a twin room instead. The room was spacious with windows on two sides. The hotel's large public bath was spacious, although the outdoor pool was a bit small, only accommodating 3-4 people. Dinner was Japanese cuisine, but the variety and portions were limited, and the ingredients weren't particularly special. The staff were polite, and there was a shuttle bus to the Kusatsu bus stop. Overall, the price is worth comparing with other options before making a decision.
The outdoor onsen is top-notch, the ski resort is great, and the breakfast and dinner are amazing – the food is delicious and varied, perfect for families. There are so many activities, you should definitely stay two nights.
I used it when I came to climb Joshu Takeru no Mikoto
Very bright.
Cleanliness is good
The owner is also a nice home inn with kindness.
The shower also comes out with a lot of water.
The kitchen is clean.
I would like to use it next time.
If you are concerned about the sound, you need earplugs.
The sound of the door opening and closing and walking in the hallway sounds.
And I'm going to invite a friend to the bar on the ground floor.
I want to use it.
The inn is located at the highest point of the stone steps of Ikabo Onsen, and the room offers a view of the scenery down the mountain. Although old, but still well maintained, staff service attitude is good, the lobby has free coffee, tea and other drinks. It's a pity that I went to the wrong open-air hot spring because I didn't listen to the staff's introduction.
The service was excellent, and the facilities were complete. We chose the option that included breakfast and dinner, both of which were buffet style. The food quality was good, the hot springs were also nice, and there was a free shuttle bus to and from the bus terminal, the hot spring bath, and the ski resort.

Very Good
We had a wonderful stay at Urakusatsu Tou, a brand-new hotel that truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly escorted by the staff. Although parking was allocated at a private outdoor parking area, the hotel thoughtfully provided an escort service, making the process very smooth and comfortable. The room was spacious and beautifully designed. Communication was easy as the receptionist spoke fluent English. The hotel also provided pajamas and daily clothing, which was a lovely and convenient touch. The onsen experience was outstanding—definitely one of the best we’ve ever had. You can immediately feel your skin becoming smooth after soaking, which made each visit incredibly relaxing. We stayed for three nights with both breakfast and dinner included. Meals were served à la carte, and the menu changed daily, surprising us every time. The food was delicious and very filling—we were completely satisfied after every meal. That said, there are a few areas we hope the hotel could improve: • During winter, the room felt quite cold as the air-conditioning heater did not function properly and was unable to warm up the room. • Breakfast hours could be extended a little later for guests who prefer a more relaxed morning. • Providing a choice of pillows would further improve sleeping comfort. • The blue indicator light on the room’s control panel remains very bright even when all lights are turned off, which can be a bit distracting at night. Overall, this hotel offers excellent service, comfort, and an unforgettable onsen and dining experience. Highly recommended, and we believe it will be even better with these small improvements.
The hotel was very clean and the room was quiet spacious. Onsen was very good. The location was perfect just only 3 minutes walk to Yubatake. I really love it.

We stayed here for 2 comfortable nights. Their staffs service are awesome, friendly and helpful. Especially Ms Yumiko service is always smiling, approachable, helpful and kind, who served us 2 nights for our meals with compassion. Room was comfortable with delicious authentic Japanese meals send our room. Onsen hot bath was clean with nice mountain view. Highly recommended to stay in this Onsen Inn. Very quiet, peaceful and calm place to rest 👍🏻
Took JR express to Kusatsu. From train terminal take a 25 mins bus to Kusatsu bus terminal. There is a shuttle to bus terminal upon request. Take less than 3 mins to reach bus terminal. If walk, then you may take longer times. I booked half boards. Dinner included. The dinner is super good. Free flow of rice, soup n side condiment. Breakfast was Okies. Takeaway coffee cups prepare for you. I specially love the onsen. Robe n slippers had prepared in room for your usage. Kusatsu is a place to have a short getaway from Tokyo.
We had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The front desk staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is a bit out of town since we travelled by car so it wasn't hard for us to get around. We can see Asama mountain from our room. The public bath I used in the morning and no one was there so I had all the big bathtub and enjoyed the view from Asama mountain all myself. It was such a nice experience. ❤️
Wonderful room, service, and overall experience. The room was equipped with a gas heater that quickly warmed the room up despite the January cold. There were also cups, a tea pot, satchels of green tea, and an electric kettle to prepare tea in the room. The onsen bath was very hot and wonderful and the futon and pillows were comfortable. 5/5 experience!
The accommodation on the golf course is very spacious, with private bathrooms and free ice. From the room there are large windows with a beautiful view. Breakfast at the clubhouse is a buffet with a variety of delicious food. Beautiful view of the golf course, quiet, suitable for relaxation. Traveling should have a car because it is quite far.
The owners were very genuine and kind. Although they could not speak English, they really made sure we had everything we needed. Very traditional Japanese ryokan experience. The place is a little old but super clean and cute. Beautiful mountainview from the room. Would really recommend! Arigato gozaimasu.
