Hot Springs-hotels in Agatsuma District

Our overnight stay at this hotel in Kusatsu was simply the best we've experienced in Japan. We arrived a bit early and we were allowed to check in before 3 as there was a room available. The service was excellent, and the room was spacious, complete with all the amenities we needed. Although the shower was located downstairs in the private onsen, it was never crowded, and I had the onsen all to myself. The hotel also provided us with yukatas, adding a lovely traditional touch to our stay. Breakfast was served in our room in the morning, and the staff graciously accommodated our request to change the breakfast time, as we wanted to visit an onsen that opened at 9 AM. The hotel was impeccably clean, and we slept like babies that night. I would love to stay here again on our next visit to Kusatsu. とても良い所でした、有難う 😊❤️

Beautiful, great service, super clean & comfortable hotel which sets it's standard really high. Everything was superb from the lobby to the room to the restaurants, and to the onsen. Quality meals are served with their hearts & the quality is too much for me. Our room was really huge. There are 3 different onsen rooms with indoor & outdoor pools. However, the outdoor pools do not give you any views since they bamboo-fenced the surrounding. Parking is free and it is only 2 mins walk down the slope to reach Kusatsu town centre. A minimum 2N stay is recommended.

It’s a bit hard to get to the hotel from bus terminal if u have luggage with u as it’s a downslope to get to the hotel. There’s also isn’t any lift in the hotel so we have to carry our luggage up to the second floor. We realised when we checked out that there’s actually locker for the luggage at the ground floor. There’s only one type of water in their public onsen which is kind of disappointing as we have high expectations since it is an onsen town. The onsen water however is good. We do feel some difference before and after onsen. There’s also free coffee & hot chocolate drinks right outside the onsen area. It would be better if there’s ice water in the onsen area as the water can get very hot & especially when there’s no cold tub there. The room however is spacious with comfortable bed. There’s also a foot bath located at the ground floor of the hotel right beside the breakfast area.

初めて草津温泉に行きました。元々別の宿を取っていましたが、他サイトでの口コミがとても良かったのと、朝食がついていたり少しお得に泊まることができたので、直前でこちらに変更しました。 泊まってみて、次回もぜひこちらに泊まりたいと思いました！以下長くなりますが、参考になりましたら嬉しいです。 ・湯畑までは歩いて7分ほど。 　湯畑から宿は登り坂で、30代前半が歩いた感じでは 　さほどきつくはないです。 　高齢の方は若干息が上がるかと思います ・宿は階段のみ。部屋はトイレのみバスなし。 　貸切風呂が2つあり、空いていれば朝9時まで入浴可能 ・アメニティはシャンプー、リンス、ボディソープ、 　歯ブラシ、カミソリ、ヘアゴム、作務衣、足袋、 　バスタオル、フェイスタオルあり 　（洗顔、メイク落としはなし） ・日帰り温泉に行く予定のある方は、 　宿にあるフェイスタオルを持って行くのがおすすめです 　（持ち帰り忘れないように注意！） ・朝食は軽朝食と思えない量と美味しさでした。 　お腹いっぱいになります ・古民家のような建物ですが、細かく清掃がされていて 　感動しました ・お部屋が少なくこじんまりとしているので、少人数で 　泊まりたい方におすすめかと思います ・その他、本サイトでは口コミが少ないですが 　某mapにはたくさんあるので、そちらを参考に 　宿泊を決めました 何よりスタッフさんの気遣いが素敵で、湯畑に近いのに静かに過ごすことができたのがとても嬉しかったです。

We stayed in Naraya House for 1 night and it was perfect. The staffs were all very kind and helpful that I am truly grateful for all their assistance given throughout our stay. We had a suite, rm no.206, it was stunningly amazing! I only know I am booking a suite with a beautiful view of the yubatake and private onsen. I didn't know it's a gigantic duplex suite with the best view of the yubatake! The room door opens to a western style living and dining area that fits with a set of sofa for 6 and a dining table for 4 with 2 benches. To the left of this western style area is 2 double beds, a walk-in closet and a toilet. I could see Japanese syle beddings in a cupboard which I believe they would be made when the room is booked for more than 2 persons. Facing the sofa is a TV panel. Behind the TV is a Japanese style sitting area with a coffee table and a view of the yubatake. The view is picturesque. There you can also find a stairs going down to the suite's private onsen bath. It's actually on a balcony overlooking the yubatake, the same gorgeous view as in its Japanese style sitting area above, just without the windows, ie closer and clearer picture of the yubatake without reflections. But be aware ppl on the street can see u too, as you can see the windows r just next to 7.11 The meal provided was fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the freshly made sushi. The salmon roe was just so fresh that they were actually shining like marbles. All the ingredients used are high quality. My kid, who is usually picky on food, was pleased with the menu. He already wanted to come back again. Next time, we will stay here for more nights in order to better experience the beauty of Kusatzu. Ps I usually don't bother to write a review, I am doing this one in return to the hotel's great service and hospitality. Thank you and until next time~

Dit was mijn eerste en enige verblijf in een ryokan dus ik heb niet veel te vergelijken met. Ik koos deze accommodatie vanwege de katten en goede beoordelingen op het eten. De katten waren echt zoet en ik vond het leuk om met hen te spelen. Ik heb 2 katten van mijn eigen dus het was echt mooi. Het eten was zo mooi en heerlijk - de champignon soep op het diner was geweldig. Ik genoot het echt. De privé badkamers waren zeer comfortabel en open 24 uur. Ik dacht dat de faciliteiten schoon en zeer aangenaam waren.De locatie was zeer dicht bij het centrum en een snelle wandeling naar alle belangrijke locaties, waaronder de busstation. Ik heb alleen nog een opmerking gemaakt over de ochtend dat iemand rookte en de geur ging in de tweede verdieping, dus misschien moet er meer aandacht worden besteed om ervoor te zorgen dat de rook buiten blijft. De gastheer was zo mooi en zoet en ik gebruikte google vertaling om vragen te stellen. De matcha madeleines zijn zo smaakvol ik kocht een doos om met me mee te nemen.

Room & vibes Stayed in a traditional tatami room and it was so Japanese in the best way – futon, tatami smell, the whole ryokan fantasy. Super cosy, perfect if you’re here to soak, chill, and live your best onsen‑town main‑character life. Buildings & facilities Hotel has three blocks, all connected via the main building, so you’ll always pass through it anyway. Most of the good stuff – hot springs, buffet etc. – is in the Annex building where I stayed, so it was really convenient, just no Yubatake view (that’s only for the main building rooms). Location & mini shopping zone They literally have their own shopping area on the first floor of the main building, right by Yubatake and the hot spring street, so you can roll out of the hotel in yukata and start browsing. Super easy to snack, shop, then hop back into the onsen without feeling like you “went out”. Transport & walking in snow There’s a shuttle bus to the nearest public transport stop, so luggage days are easy. You can walk it in under 10 minutes, but in snow season the road gets icy and crazy slippery, so honestly not recommended unless you trust your shoes (and your balance). Staff & service energy Hotel staff are amazing – super friendly and actually proactive. Besides Japanese and English, some staff speak Mandarin and will just switch to it to help you out, and they’ll even offer to take photos for you before you have the chance to ask, which is perfect for solo or shy travellers.

Excellent service. I will give 10 out of 5 if I could. There was a staff who rushed out to us and asked if we were going to stay at the Ryokan. Very helpful for lost travelers overwhelmed by the cold weather. Greeted us warmly when we arrived. Explained the important information to us as best as they could in English, which is perfectly fine. Room was big. Decorated meticulously in the traditional Japanese style. Yukata and Obi provided added on to the immersive experience. Dinner was exquisite. Dishes gave us a taste of what traditional Japanese cuisine was like. The food was sincere (didn’t feel like frozen / canned / ready made food), served and plated meticulously. There were 2 onsens, indoor and outdoor. They were clean and spacious enough. Water (I believe) is from the hot spring nearby and was immensely therapeutic. Ryokan was near the heart of the town and everything was within walking distance. Kindly shuttled us to the bus terminal when we checked out (we didn’t have to wait for fixed timings) and carried our (heavy) luggage. All in all, we enjoyed the one night stay very much and they set a high bar for Japanese hospitality.

Het hotel is meestal gerenoveerd, dus het heeft schone en nieuwe voorzieningen. Echter, sommige items zoals de TV zijn gedateerd. Het had een groot parkeerplaats (gratis) als u rijdt. The onsen is clean and modern. You can make use of their sister hotel’s onsen just next door. Gratis koffie en pasta geleverd in de middag. Het hotel biedt ook Yukata en Japanse stijl slippers voor de gast. Het zou beter zijn als ze een koffer in plaats van een plastic zak voor de gasten hun bezittingen rond te dragen bij het baden.

My stay at Kamenoi Hotel Kusatsu was excellent. The onsen was very clean and quite spacious, making it a relaxing experience. The hotel also has a convenient shortcut that leads directly to the Yubatake pedestrian area, which is a big plus. Both breakfast and dinner were buffet-style with a wide variety of dishes — plenty of options and all very enjoyable. The service was great, and the room was comfortable to sleep in. The only downside is that there were a bit too few power outlets in the room, but it wasn’t a major problem. Overall, a fantastic stay and highly recommended for anyone visiting Kusatsu.
