Kusatsu Onsen Hotel Village

Perfect to go to the onsen when ever you want. The onsen is open from 15.00 to 11.00 next day. Shuttlebus to town goes twice every hour.

Well the old-fashioned hotel from another century is worth the trip! You will find yourself in a Miyazaki storyline. Our room was quite spacious and well furnished. The hotel has few entertaining areas like bowling, crane machines, onsen and a pool (charged), closing pretty early. They also have a cafe and restaurants. The staff speaks English. The plus: a free shuttle bus will stop at the bus terminal to and from the hotel. A convenient store (Lawson) is located around the hotel.

We stayed in cabins, it was good and specious..But was not cleaned properly.. These are away from the main hotel, so it's a distance to walk..I believe they provide transportation to come to main building, but I didn't use it as we had our bikes..They have a natural onsen but indoor which you need to pay extra, it in the main building.It was a good experience..I was expecting an outdoor like the picture shown, but couldn't find it..

The location is away from the main tourist spots in Kusatsu Town, and there were options to take shuttle bus over. As we drove there, it wasn't an issue. Loved the feel of the nature that the hotel is set in. There were several activities available that you can enjoy at a discounted rate as a guest of the hotel. It was fun trying out the archery. Hope to come back and try out the lodge cabin accommodation next time!

The log cabins are in an are a bit far away from the main hotel building (about 1km). They're in a cliff overlooking a river, almost in the middle of the forest. They're far enough from each other. There's a free taxi service to/from the main lobby. When you check in you're given a cell phone that you can use to contact the lobby and/or ask for a pickup. They have free hourly shuttle buses from the center of town, so it's very convenient even if you don't come by car. Our log cabin was #6506. It was MUCH bigger than we expected. We were two people, but up to five could stay for the same price. There were two single beds and three futons in a closet. It was very cozy, with a very nice kitchen (equipped with silverware, microwave, pans, etc). There's a big jacuzzi bathtub, a plain toilet with washlet, and the expected toiletries. They provide towels that you can take to the onsens in the town. The cabin has heated floor and a wood stove in the center of the living room. I can't imagine a better place for a family to spend a few days in the middle of winter when there's snow all over Kusatsu. The view from the balcony is spectacular. Breakfast is in the main building, so you have to get there somehow. We just went by car, but I imagine that going to have breakfast in the middle of winter can be a challenge.
