I stayed at Yubatake Sensui, a ryokan with open-air baths in every room, which is still new, having opened on May 13, 2024. This time, there was a unique plan to commemorate the opening so I could stay at a reasonable rate.
Kusatsu Onsen is famous for its abundance of hot spring water, but there is much more to enjoy besides the hot springs, so it was a very satisfying onsen pond. The accessibility from Tokyo is also quite good, so I would like to visit again and again.
