The fact that this building is over a hundred years old. Makes it a worthwhile location to stay. A short hop (500m) to the town centre and turning right at the hotel entrance brings you to a scenic outdoor man made/natural onsen location with Tori gates shrine nearby. The staffs are proficient in English and extremely helpful. Would recommend booking the private onsen so that the whole family can be together to soak and relax while creating new memories. This would be my go-to hotel if we visit Gunma again.

How to go to Kusatsu Hotel from Airport

Getting from the airport to Kusatsu Hotel is a breeze, with several convenient options available. Whether you're looking for the quickest hotel transfer or the most budget-friendly route, here's a breakdown to help you plan your journey.
  • Taxi (most direct):

    A taxi from Narita (NRT) or Haneda (HND) Airport will take you directly to Kusatsu Hotel. This is the fastest option, but also the most expensive. Expect a journey of around 3-4 hours from Narita and 2.5-3.5 hours from Haneda, depending on traffic.
  • Train (most scenic):

    Take the JR Limited Express Kusatsu train from Ueno Station in Tokyo to Naganohara-Kusatsuguchi Station. From there, take a JR bus to Kusatsu Onsen Bus Terminal, which is a short walk to the hotel. This option offers beautiful views of the Japanese countryside.
  • Bus (most affordable):

    Several highway buses operate from Shinjuku Bus Terminal (Busta Shinjuku) directly to Kusatsu Onsen Bus Terminal. From there, it's a short walk to Kusatsu Hotel. This is generally the most affordable option, but the journey can take longer than the train.
  • Ride Hailing (convenient):

    Ride Hailing services are available from both Narita and Haneda Airports. This option offers door-to-door service and can be more convenient than public transport, especially with luggage.
Tips: For the most convenient route, consider taking a Ride Hailing service or a pre-booked airport transfer, especially if you have a lot of luggage or are travelling with a group. If you're on a budget, the highway bus is a great option.

It was an amazing hotel within easy reach of restaurants, shops and the Yubatake. Breakfast and dinner were superb and staff were attentive. The only thing I’d comment on is that the fact that there’s no elevator in the buildings. So the staff has to carry guests baggage’s up and down the stairs, which was brutal. Other than that, it was a pleasant getaway with outstanding onsens.

The hotel's location was excellent. A stone's throw from Sainokawara Park and the centre of town. The park is a must. We did not have any issue with the noises due to the age of the property that others have commented on, however, the onsen was a little disappointing. Indoor onsen was average, the outdoor one was lukewarm and the private onsen was.. just a tub. Otherwise, we had a pleasant stay in Kusatsu with the snow quality and the nice little onsen town.

Comfortable ryokan with private onsen for reservations and a cost. Cost of private onsen should not be implemented on hotel guests as there was no view which is worthy of the amount. Go for the private onsen only if you feel uncomfortable in the same onsen as other hotel guests.

We loved this hotel and the design. The front desk, drivers and all service staff were very friendly and helpful despite lack of English. There was one gentleman who spoke pretty good English though. The breakfast was delicious and different for both days. You have to try the soba at Mikuniya. Its so good and goes well with tempura. It snowed on both days we were there and we loved it. Ps try the hotel amd you will enjoy the charm.

Comfortable slightly older property in a great location (5 mins walk to main area/water ceremony). On-site onsen is ok but there are many other options in the area to try. Only downside is slight cigarette smell in one of the common areas — rest of hotel and our room totally smoke smell free though. Would stay again. Staff were exceptional.
