Kusatsu Onsen is famous as one of the three major Onsens in Japan. There is also a small ski resort in Kusatsu Onsen. The mountain is not big but suited to beginners and intermediates and worth a fun session.
The temperature of the Kusatsu Onsen water is from 51 to 94 degrees, which is too hot to bathe in. Water stirring known as "Yumomi" is used to lower the temperature without cutting it with cold water.
This unique bathing method of Yumomi (water beating) is a custom that has been passed down since the Edo period. The water from the spring is stirred with boards that are 30 cm wide and 180 cm long while the song is sung. Netsu no Yu, which is located near Yubatake, is recommended for its yumomi and dance show and for events where guests can give it a try.
The Yumomi show is a must experience!
