Hotel Spax Kusatsu

I stayed here for 2 nights on a solo trip! I only included breakfast, but they were considerate enough to make sure that none of the ingredients overlapped with the previous day, and it was delicious☺️ The room was clean and the quality was very high, and the hot spring was great♨️ It's on a hill, so it's a bit tough to walk there, but the Yubatake is nearby and I enjoyed going up and down the mountain many times😊 The express bus from Shinjuku was 30 minutes late and arrived at 11:30pm🚌 I couldn't get a taxi at Kusatsu bus terminal already, so I walked in the dark with my suitcase rattling... I thought I'd take a dip in the hot spring and have a beer as soon as I arrived at the hotel, but there was no alcohol vending machine😖 I regret not doing my research in advance... You can't buy alcohol after the shop closes, so I recommend buying it at a convenience store🍻 It's a small hotel, but I could feel the enthusiasm of the staff who provide attentive service to each and every person! Thank you for your help~

Because we checked in on the last day of a public holiday in Japan, the price should have dropped, it was less than 700, and the room type was upgraded. The overall feeling is that it is a higher level than budget hotels such as Toyoko and Dormy Inn. The hotel is halfway up the mountain next to Yubata in the center of the town. If you don't push your suitcase, it takes about seven or eight minutes to walk, two of which are on a 30-degree slope. I read on the Internet that various hotels have scheduled pick-up and drop-off at Kusatsu bus station. You can check the time at the service center. Since I arrived at 8pm, I looked at the navigation and walked to the hotel. It seemed that it would take less than 20 minutes. When I checked out, I talked to the front desk and arranged for a van to be taken to the bus station. The hotel's own hot spring is quite satisfactory. You can walk to Kusatsu's popular public hot springs Gozanoyu (next to Yubatake), Nishino River Source (in the forest park), and Otō Noyu. Except for the slopes, it is still very suitable for going there. Kusatsu serves as a place to stay while soaking in hot springs.

My first hotel in the Kusatsu Yubatake area. All the ryokan inns were fully booked, so I found Spax and booked it. I heard later that there is a shuttle service between the hotel and the bus terminal. I had time before check-in, so I asked them to leave my luggage and went to see the yubatake.From the hotel to the yubatake and shops It takes less than 10 minutes to get to the place lined with trees, but there are a lot of slopes, so it's tiring.Sainokawara is very close.The room is a Japanese-style room, spacious and comfortable.The bath is small, but the salty water warms your body. Breakfast was served in a private room in the restaurant. Dinner was a typical Japanese meal. Coffee was provided free of charge in the lounge. If you don't mind walking uphill, this hotel is recommended if you are staying in Kusatsu at a reasonable price.
