⛩️ A day of complete healing at Kusatsu Onsen, Japan's best hot spring! ✨

♨️Kusatsu Onsen (草津温泉)
Located in Gunma Prefecture, it is one of the three most famous hot springs in Japan, and is a hot spring town where you can completely heal your body and mind with its rich sulfur and hot spring water!

✨Special Features of Kusatsu Onsen
•It has the largest natural water flow in Japan, and its strong acidity makes it excellent for sterilization. As a result, most bacteria cannot grow, so you can expect excellent effects for healthy skin care.

•Kusatsu Onsen's unique bathing methods are special bathing methods that have been passed down since the Edo period, such as "Ichiji Yuyoku (一時入浴)" and "Yumomi (湯もみ)". This method is a traditional method of stirring the hot spring water to lower the high temperature to an appropriate temperature, and is a special experience that can only be experienced at Kusatsu Onsen.

🍯Honey Tip
Yubatake (湯畑): Yubatake is a symbolic place of Kusatsu Onsen, where there is a unique structure to cool down the hot spring water.
You can relax while looking at the hot spring water from the cafe located nearby!

If you visit in the evening, you can enjoy an even more romantic atmosphere as the hot spring lights twinkle.

•There is also a footbath where you can soak your feet for free, so be sure to stop by. It is the perfect place to rest your feet while sightseeing.

•TIP: You can watch the traditional ‘Yumomi’ performance near Yubatake around 7 PM, so try to visit at that time.
