Kusatsu Onsen Futabaya

Although the hotel is small, it has a very good location and is convenient for going anywhere in the central area. It takes about 3 to 5 minutes to walk after getting off the bus. It's just that the name of the store is a little small, so if you don't understand Japanese, you may not notice it. Because the name on Ctrip is translated into Chinese, and the actual store name is in Japanese. The hotel has two small hot spring pools, and only one room can enter at a time. You basically have to wait for half an hour to soak each time. However, there are many places to soak in hot springs outside, so if you are not so obsessed with soaking in the hotel, it's no problem. The first thing I did when I arrived at the hotel was to search for delicious restaurants nearby. I found a restaurant called Kamameshi, which looked good, but because I couldn't make an online reservation, I could only queue up at the door. So I waited for more than an hour in the cold wind. It was so cold during the waiting process that I soaked my feet in the foot bath next to it. Facts have proved that even if there are many people queuing up, it is not necessarily a delicious restaurant. The expectations are high, but the actual situation is very average, and the menu variety is also very small. I will never go to the store a second time unless there is really nothing to eat. I guess many people queuing up are also following the trend like me, out of curiosity. In addition, when you go out, bring the bath towel and small towel provided by the hotel, so that you can take a bath at any time, because the hot springs outside do not provide towels, and some places even need to pay to rent them. When you arrive at the place, first buy a package ticket for the three major hot springs, stamp each place, and you will be issued a certificate of completion after taking three baths, so you can take a photo to commemorate it. Kusatsu Onsen is not big, and the attractions are very concentrated, which is quite suitable for lazy people like me, and they are all within walking distance. I personally think that planning a good itinerary is enough for two days and one night. Finally, it is still quite cold these days, so remember to wear thicker clothes, bring hats and earmuffs, because it is really cold.
