Enjoy the natural hot springs of Yubatake source as they are at the source.

Since ancient times, Kusatsu Onsen has been said to be effective against all illnesses, and has healed many people. Among the many Kusatsu hot springs, we use the source water from Yubatake, which is considered to be the highest quality. The spring temperature is high, ranging from 55 degrees to 95 degrees, but the temperature is lowered by exposing it to natural air, so you can take a bath with the hot spring concentration at 100%.
The large public baths ``Megumi'' and ``Izumi'' also have open-air baths with wooden decks. You can enjoy the natural hot springs while feeling the fresh air of the four seasons.
You can relax in the two private garden baths with small gardens.

*Information on renovation work of the open-air bath (complete closure of the open-air bath)
The open-air bath will be undergoing renovation work from May 2024th (Tuesday) to June 5th (Wednesday), 7.
