A date trip to Kusatsu to visit the Yubatake and castle

We introduce a two-day, one-night trip based in Gunma's famous Kusatsu Onsen, offering a taste of history and romance. This plan is perfect for a date, offering both soothing soaks in the hot springs and unique sightseeing spots.

Itinerary
Day 1: After exploring the Yubatake, the symbol of Kusatsu Onsen, check in at Daitokan. Don't miss the Yumomi performance. Refresh your mind and body in the large bath, which flows directly from the hot spring source.
Day 2: Make a wish on a lucky daruma doll at Shaolin Daruma Temple. In the afternoon, visit Lockheart Castle, reminiscent of medieval Europe. With its photogenic scenery, it's a popular photo spot for couples.

🏨 Accommodation
Kusatsu Onsen Daitokan is located right in front of the Yubatake. It's convenient for sightseeing, and you can also enjoy the luxury of gazing at the illuminated Yubatake from your room.

🍴 Nearby Food Spots
The Yubatake area is packed with hearty gourmet treats, including hot spring manju (sweet dumplings) and Gunma's specialty, okkirikomi udon noodles.

📌 Useful Information
Shorinji Darumaji Temple is about an hour and a half by car from Kusatsu, and Lockheart Castle is another 30 minutes. We recommend using Kusatsu as your base for a sightseeing drive.
