Kusatsu is a mountain village well-known for its hot springs. I visited to try out the famous Japanese "onsen" bathhouses, and I was not disappointed!

I stayed at an inn with paper screen walls, wore a kimono in the room, and made use of the inn's traditional bathing facilities with wooden buckets, very small towels, and wonderful hot spring baths inside a tidy walled garden.

I was there during winter, and feel that it must be the best time to visit as there is something special when taking a dip in the hot springs surrounded by pure white snow.

As Kusatsu is in Japan, there is nice food to be found and I can recommend sitting outside having a smoking hot drink while looking at the smoking hot springs. All in all, Kusatsu offered a great experience!
