Kusatsu Onsen Kusatsu Hotel 1913

I stayed during the last week of March. The weather was great, and I was able to enjoy a wonderful time in Kusatsu. Before my stay, I looked up various information about this Hotel, and it turned out to be even better than I had imagined. The exterior is a traditional Japanese-style building, but inside everything was spotless and very clean down to every detail. All the Hotel staff were kind and courteous, and their warm hospitality really stood out. My Room may have been in a renovated wing, but it was very clean and spacious, and I was able to relax comfortably. The baths were large, and above all the quality of the hot spring water was excellent—just what you’d expect from Kusatsu. The Hotel is within walking distance of both Sainokawara Park and Yubatake, which made it very convenient. Yubatake and Sainokawara during the day—and again at night—made for a truly fulfilling stay. I only had breakfast, but it was served as an individual set meal rather than a buffet, which I preferred by far, and it was delicious. The dining staff also greeted guests cheerfully in the morning, which was wonderful. This review has gotten long, but overall I was extremely satisfied with this Hotel. As soon as I got home, I made another Reservation right away. I’m looking forward to my next visit. One thing I noticed: there were tissues only in the bathroom; it would be nice to have them in the bedroom as well. Also, the amenity area at the front desk was a bit hard to find. It was a short stay, but I made great memories in Kusatsu.

We were able to relax and fully enjoy our first visit to Kusatsu Onsen. From the warm welcome to the send-off, all staff members treated us with great care.As this is a long-established Ryokan, we were informed that due to the building’s structure, sounds from upstairs Rooms and the hallway may carry. During our stay, we did hear some rattling noises from the Room above a few times, but they stopped after a while and didn’t bother us much.It’s close to Sainokawara Park and set slightly away from the busier area, so it was quiet—yet still within easy walking distance of Yubatake. That location was excellent.The Japanese sweets served in the lounge only in the morning would have been nice to have at check-in or available in our Room as well.We’d love to visit again with our family. Thank you very much.
