Our stay at the hotel was fantastic. The room was clean and well-maintained, and the onsen offered both private and public options, both of which were excellent. The breakfast and dinner were delicious. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kusatsu Onsen town.
Good location, close to the yubatake. Hotel is modern, looks new and clean, however did find mould on the shower floor. Meals not a strong suit. Great stay overall.
The hotel is located in a quiet area yet it is walkable to the main area. There is a lot of dining option and I also like the fusion Japanese/French dinner. Tasty and elegant. The parking is also easy. We had the room with the private onsen. Love it!!
Overall a nice authentic experience in a convenient location. Only let down by uncomfortable beds and lack of drinks available from the bar after 10pm! The authentic japenewe breakfast was beautifully presented but there were no other food options if it was not to your liking. Rooms were clean well equipped with nice bathrooms. Hotel very central and within easy reach of the main centre.
The room was spacious, with high ceilings and large windows. We stayed for one night, and it was comfortable. The dinner was just okay, but the breakfast was delicious. The only downside is that the men's and women's onsen baths didn't switch, unlike other onsen hotels I've stayed at. This hotel has a more Western style It's not a traditional onsen ryokan. But overall was a great experience!
The dinner that we had for 2 night was superb, presentation and taste like a Michelin star restaurant. Room was spacious with a view, staff were attentive and willing to help with any requests even at night. BF box tasted good. Within walking distance from bus terminal and maybe that’s why the hotel doesn’t offer a shuttle bus service which we needed due to our large-sized luggage
Room with excellent tidiness. Food in the restaurant is tasty and various. Overall it’s a decent place to stay. However, if you have driven your car to come, you may have to park a bit far (though there is a guide will lead you there and drive you back to the hotel). Secondly, there is no private onset in my room and I have booked a private onsen room. It’s just only a bath which costs a bit expensive for an hour but it’s clean and tidy. Thirdly, maybe it’s just only my room’s issue, the curtain cannot be closed, I should report it but anyway…

I had a wonderful stay at Urakusatsu Tou in Kusatsu, Japan. The hotel is very clean, and the room was spacious and comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the check-in process was smooth and efficient. The onsen was well-maintained, offering a peaceful and relaxing environment — a perfect way to unwind after exploring Kusatsu. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting the area!
This hotel was great to stay in. The room was very spacious with tatami mats and two areas to sit down and relax/work on computer including a nice couch with a table and desk with a chair. The bed was very comfortable, the restaurant was delicious, and the spa was amazing. I had a great stay here.
The onsen district has amazing accommodations. Everything was above par at this establishment, being a newer building but the dinner and breakfast was a little disappointing compared with other places I stayed at with comparable price.
