Relaxed comfort

Comfortable, spacious and super friendly/helpful staff. Private outdoor onsen was superb, especially when it was snowing. I didn’t find the public foot bath to be very warm. Great location, central to all the places and experiences I was seeking.

Small and well-furnished hotel

Very nicely furnished room and general hotel area, with a unique in-house onsen experience. There are both footbaths as well as a full onsen in the hotel. Do note that there is no shower/bathtub in the room though, so you will have to use the onsen. Amenities were nice as well, with free tea and coffee via a machine on the second floor, and a simple free breakfast too. Don't expect a huge hotel, but we enjoyed the friendly service and pleasant room for the price. It also helps that they have a fairly regular shuttle service to the bus terminal. Would recommend if you're looking for a simple place to stay while exploring Kusatsu, for small groups/couples.

Small but centrally located hotel, easy to walk around and find places to eat. Room is pretty small and no shower so you have to go to the onsen to washand soak in the hot spring. Bus terminal is a steep climb

Wonderful place to stay to enjoy Kusatsu

Great experience! The grounds are clean and relaxing. They know enough English to help answer any questions you may have. We booked the private onsen room, which was a fun experience. The only thing is there is no private space to get dressed/undressed when you use the shower or the onsen other than the bedroom space. If you don't opt for the private onsen, they take their time to explain to you how to use the shared one. You can also soak in the free foot bath next to the reception area. Breakfast was free and delicious. Simple options: pastries, eggs, sausage, juice, coffee, tea. Finding the reception is a little tricky. You will see the foot bath area first. Just walk past it, then you'll reach the reception desk. Other tip, try not to come here with luggage. The walk between the station to the hotel is very short, but not smooth enough to roll your luggage comfortably.

Best location in front of Hotspring field

Pros 1) very good location in front of Yubatake, walk from bus terminal 10-15min. Cons 1) entrance is a narrow passageway beside a shop, asked a local & she brought me there. A small word, souan. 2) No view. 2 rooms with window view facing Yubatake is blocked by wooden panelled building facade. 3) only 1 small indoor onsen.

We had the room with the private hot bath, and it was definitely worth the stay! Although it wasn't very private (right next to the other room that had an outdoor bath) it was still very enjoyable! Room was very clean, and they even provided you with traditional clothing to wear around town for onsen hopping. I would highly recommend stay at Souan! It was also the perfect location (right in the middle of downtown)!

Well located Ryokan

The ryokan is located in the center of the place. No parking, so if you come in a car you will need to park in a public parking, not too close. Our room had no bathroom. Breakfast is western more than Japanese.

Well located hotel with pleasant foot cafe

There was one English speaking staff member who was extremely helpful at giving suggestions and recommendations for places to experience. The hotel was friendly, clean, and well located right in front of Kusatsu's main attraction.

Nice hotel in Kusatsu

The hotel is right at the Yubatake (hot water field). However, the entrance is a bid hidden between two shops. The hotel has its own small hot water bath (separated for men and women), which is shared among all hotel guests. Moreover, there is a nice little foot-bath right at the entrance of the hotel. Our room was quite spacious and had toilet facility, but no own shower or bath. Overall, I found that the hotel offered great value for the price.

A great weekend getaway - value for money

Although the room was really beautiful the window was blocked by a board which blocked out natural light making the room very dark. The yukatas were not placed in the room and had to be collected from the front desk which was in a cafe. This can be confusing at first but overall the location was perfect! The breakfast was also very delicious and the overall design of the hotel was pleasing. The baths were clean and easy to use albeit a little small (too small for 3 people).

Almost the perfect hotel

One of the best hotel in Kusatsu according to me. In the center of Kusatsu, near to everything. Service was perfect and hotel was 100% clean. Staff team was kind, respectful etc. Little negative point, there is no bathroom in some rooms (or in every room ?)
