KAMENOI HOTEL Kusatsu Resort  

Tucked into the mountains of Kusatsu, just a short walk from Yubatake and the Kusatsu Town Onsen Museum. This ryokan-style resort sits about 15 minutes on foot from Kusatsu Onsen Bus Terminal and runs a free shuttle that cuts the ride to five minutes. Family-friendly and close to the hot spring district, with Shiga Kogen Ski Area and Karuizawa Toy Kingdom within easy driving distance.

Surrounded by nature, the property blends classic onsen charm with resort comfort. There are 103 guestrooms with refrigerators, flat-screen TVs, turndown service and bathroom amenities like slippers and toothbrushes. Baths draw 100% from the Bandaiko spring, and guests can also use the sister hotel Daitokan’s Yubatake spring baths for a different onsen feel.

Soak in natural hot springs sourced from Bandaiko and unwind in the spa, sauna or massage room. Recreational highlights include karaoke, ping-pong/table tennis, ski equipment rental and kids’ playrooms.
