Gunma Kusatsu Town

"Kusatsu Onsen Hotel Sakurai" is a high-end, Showa-modern hot spring hotel in Kusatsu Town, Agatsuma District, Gunma Prefecture, boasting one of the largest scales in Kusatsu. Located about a 9-minute walk from Yubatake, it is known for its hot spring culture experiences held every night in the hotel, such as the Yumo-mi Show and the Sakura Taiko Show. Its pride and joy is the bath area: a grand public bath approximately 30 meters long, offering an overwhelming sense of openness and among the largest in Kusatsu Onsen. It draws water from three of Kusatsu's main sources: Bandai-ko Spring, Nishi-no-Kawara Spring, and the rare, gentle milky-white Wata no Yu Spring, allowing guests to enjoy an exquisite comparison of 100% free-flowing natural spring waters.
