Great old Ryokan just 1 min walk from Yubatake. Service staff are polite & helpful though they may not understand English at times.

Excellent service. I will give 10 out of 5 if I could.
There was a staff who rushed out to us and asked if we were going to stay at the Ryokan. Very helpful for lost travelers overwhelmed by the cold weather. Greeted us warmly when we arrived. Explained the important information to us as best as they could in English, which is perfectly fine.
Room was big. Decorated meticulously in the traditional Japanese style. Yukata and Obi provided added on to the immersive experience.
Dinner was exquisite. Dishes gave us a taste of what traditional Japanese cuisine was like. The food was sincere (didn’t feel like frozen / canned / ready made food), served and plated meticulously.
There were 2 onsens, indoor and outdoor. They were clean and spacious enough. Water (I believe) is from the hot spring nearby and was immensely therapeutic.
Ryokan was near the heart of the town and everything was within walking distance.
Kindly shuttled us to the bus terminal when we checked out (we didn’t have to wait for fixed timings) and carried our (heavy) luggage.
All in all, we enjoyed the one night stay very much and they set a high bar for Japanese hospitality.

Excellent location, only 2 minutes walk to the town centre. But food is slightly under the expectation, especially when take into account of what we have paid.

The pick-up staff are polite and there is a car to pick up and drop off the hotel! Passengers cannot check into the room with their shoes upright. They can only change slippers in front of the hotel door to keep the environment clean. The travel environment is comfortable. The room faces the woods. There are male and female hot springs or private hot springs at your own expense, which is very comfortable!

The location is very good, the hot spring is also very good, booked including breakfast, dinner, both meals are ordinary, nothing special. The room is large and very comfortable. The biggest problem is that there is no wifi in the room, only in the lobby, no payment. I have seen nearby hotels provide WiFi, want to book Osaka House to accept this point 😅

The hotel has a pick-up service, so you don't have to carry your luggage to the hotel. The hotel is very close to Kusatsu Onsen Shopping Street, which is very convenient. Dinner and breakfast are also delicious. There are two hot spring areas. The price is economical and it is considered a good hotel.

It was an old building in Kusatsu Onsen, and I could feel the atmosphere of a traditional inn. The next morning, it was snowing, and the scenery was completely different from the first day. They cleared the snow from my car, saw me off, and greeted me when I left. They were very friendly. I would like to stay here again when I go to Kusatsu Onsen.

Although it was an old building, the inside was clean and comfortable. It was also close to the Yubatake baths, and the early check-in was also appealing. Thanks to this, I was able to fully enjoy the atmosphere of the hot spring town.

The slightly older room has a strong traditional Japanese-style atmosphere, and the breakfast and dinner are exquisite and delicious. The only drawback is that the hot springs are a bit thin.

Osakaya is a very traditional Japanese inn, probably one of the oldest inns in the area. This is my first time traveling to Kusatsu. There are many foreigners who can speak English when entering the hotel to help, so the experience is okay. 
In Japanese hotels, you get what you pay for. The food here is just acceptable in my opinion. Since the room rate is not too high, I don't mind it too much. 
The hot spring water here is very good. Although it is not a luxury hotel, if you have a limited budget, Osakaya is a good choice.
