Romantic Hotels in Kusatsu

I really loved the whole experience at Ryokan Tamura. I felt very relaxed and pampered since dinner and breakfast was served, and we loved using the onsen. We asked for vegan food, and they informed us that the broth may contain dashi, but for us that was ok. The food was delicious and we got to try some of the traditional Japanese cuisine consisting of mainly vegetables. There were men only and women only onsens, and two private onsens. The water was super warm and relaxing. The staff was also very welcoming and nice and spoke english.

Everything was lovely - the staff the room, the onsens, the breakfasts. Location was great, halfway between the Youbatake and the bus terminal (150m to either). Kusatsu is a magical place, and Hanaingen was a special way to experience a traditional Japanese ryokan. Thanks especially to all the kind and helpful staff.

This ryokan was our last leg of travelling around Japan before staying just in Tokyo before leaving so it was to be a special day at the onsen town. And it certainly delivers - the room was amazing, the meals were amazing and the onsen rooms were amazing and open 24h a day. The staff is very friendly and the games room is perfect for after a bath, also having a foot massage device that went really well after a bath. Kusatsu is also a lovely town and we did a bit of exploring and snacking as soon as we arrived in town.

Wonderful stay. Great bathing facilities, lovely staff at a good price. Ryokan ran like clockwork. Lovely breakfast in the morning.

One of my favourite ryokans I’ve ever stayed in! Such a cosy and welcoming atmosphere, lovely rooms and comfortable futon. Loved the private bath we were able to use a few times. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, it really felt like “coming home”. Super glad we booked this as part of our honeymoon and I’ll be staying here again if I return to Kusatsu!
