Location

Kusatsu is one of the most popular Onsen in Japan that is surrounded by nature.

Hotel Village is a place where you can relax and enjoy nature.

Access

Onsen

Hotel Village draws onsen from three source springs—Yubatake, Bandaiko and Watanoyu. These waters have been known since ancient times for their excellent healing effects. (For neuralgia, arthralgia, skin conditions, diabetes, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, chronic dyspepsia, etc.)
Be sure to spend some time soaking in a hot bath surrounded by nature.

Nature

Being surrounded by nature lets one relax and enriches the mind and body in ways that the city cannot. If you are visiting Japan, come to this mountain oasis for nature, clean air, and a hotel that settles in well to the natural surroundings. There are also many great spots for taking photos. It is sure to leave you with memories that will last a lifetime.
