Gensen Ichinoyu in Kusatsu Onsen! It seems that it used to be a different inn, but it has been renovated into this stylish inn!! It is an inn that only offers accommodation, but it is close to the Yubatake, so you will not have any trouble finding food. You can also eat a free breakfast. This time I stayed in a superior twin room (with a mini kitchen) on the second floor. You can borrow kitchen utensils from the front desk for this room! It is also convenient because it has a microwave. The shop sells beer and ice cream, which is great after a bath! There is also a foot bath in the building, so you can relax. There is a free drink corner just outside the large bath. You can enjoy coffee, cocoa, black tea, green tea, and water!

The inn where I stayed in Kusatsu Onsen is a hot spring inn called "Gensen Ichinoyu" that uses the hot spring source of Kusatsu. You will love Kusatsu Onsen! It is close to the famous Kusatsu Yubatake, and the road from the Yubatake to the hotel is a narrow and quaint road with a very nice atmosphere. There is a hot spring source inside the inn, and even those who can't enter the small hot spring outside can safely enter. I visited in January, when snow was falling, and Kusatsu Onsen was amazing with snow falling outside. There was a yukata in the room, and I wore it to enter the public hot springs that anyone can enter, which made me feel like I was in a hot spring town, which was also great. In addition to the hot springs, the hotel also had a foot bath area, so it was a trip full of hot springs. If you love hot springs, I recommend you to visit! #Accommodation #KusatsuOnsen #KusatsuOnsenYubata
