Day-trip bathing

Overnight stay only

The Yubatake steams in the middle of town — water so hot and strong they still cool it by hand, the old way. You get both kinds of private here — a bath of your own, and reservable ones for the long soak. Most guests use both before checkout. You probably will too.

Tattoo-friendly area: Kusatsu Onsen

The town's public baths welcome tattooed guests. Kusatsu Onsen's three public baths (Gozanoyu, Otakinoyu and Sainokawara) do not refuse entry to tattooed guests, according to the official Gozanoyu FAQ. And at this property you have a private bath anyway, so tattoos are a non-issue from check-in to check-out.
