Reviewed by Sora Matsuda·Founding Editor & Ryokan Correspondent·How we verify
Sora's verified pickLarge 95-room ryokan overlooking Kusatsu's Yubatake, with free-flowing source hot springs and buffet dining a short walk from the bus terminal.
Kaiseki dinner and Japanese breakfast are usually included at this mid-tier ryokan. Sudomari (room-only) plans may be offered as a cheaper alternative — verify the meal plan when booking. Dining is most often served in a communal dining hall.
Dietary requests (vegetarian, halal, gluten-free, allergies) should be communicated at booking, not on arrival — the kitchen pre-orders ingredients several days ahead.
