Begin at Yubatake, the steaming hot-water field at the heart of Kusatsu Onsen. Walk around the traditional hot-spring streets, see mineral-rich water flowing through the wooden channels, browse local shops, and enjoy the distinctive atmosphere of one of Japan’s best-known onsen towns. Use part of this stop for local snacks, shopping, or lunch depending on your group’s pace.
Walk through Sainokawara Park, where hot-spring water flows naturally through a mountain valley just outside the center of Kusatsu. Enjoy the steaming streams, free footbath areas, and seasonal mountain scenery at a relaxed pace. Admission to Sainokawara Open-Air Bath is not included. Guests who prefer an outdoor bathing experience may choose it instead of Otakinoyu, subject to time and facility operation.
Choose an optional day-use onsen experience at Otakinoyu, known for Kusatsu’s traditional awase-yu bathing style.

Admission, towel rental, private bath fees, food, and personal expenses are not included. Facility hours, maintenance, crowd levels, and access conditions may affect availability.
