What guests think
At Kusatsu Onsen Gensen Ichinoyu, travellers highlight a convenient spot near Yubatake and the bus station, welcoming staff, relaxing public and private onsen options, and generally spacious, modern rooms that provide a comfortable base for exploring Kusatsu.
Common drawbacks include no elevator and many stairs, no on-site parking, some rooms without private bathrooms, and corridor noise carrying in the older building. Breakfast is consistently simple with limited variety. Most guests find the property clean, though a few reported lapses such as a stained blanket or debris under furniture. Overall, expect an onsen-centric stay with roomy interiors, ideal if you prioritize soaking and space over elevators, parking, and full-service perks.

Very closed to the bus station, which was about 5 mins walk. The hotel is building with old architecture, but with modern updates. It was an easy check-in process. Our room was really nice and spacious. The room was clean, but my blank had a small stain on the blanket. The wifi is really good. There is a public onsen on the lower floor for guests to enjoy. We reserved a 45 mins private onsen for 3200 yen. It was well worth it! The room was roomy and clean. It has a private shower and bathroom. The we enjoyed our private onsen. Very relaxing. Highly recommend. Some tips. Don't walk in the hotel with your shoes or sneakers. There are sandals that you can walk outside the streets with. It's located in the lockers with the keys when you entered the hotel. If you want to walk around the hotel you can walk with your socks or the staff can you give a sandals. Breakfast is a buffet. Limited selections, and you have to make a time slot rsvp. They bar closed around 10pm. We loved our one night stayed. We would come back again!

The property’s website did not have exact map to get there. I asked at the info center for direction but a couple from Hong Kong took 1 hour to locate the property. It was not mentioned there are long stairs to get there from “yubatake” tour spot. No elevators at the property you have to lug your suitcases up to your room.

The place is close to the bus station and merely a block away from Yubatake. It's really clean and modern yet still have old school ryokan vibe. Free foot bath right at the lobby. Staff is polite and professional, speaks passable English which is better than my broken Japanese. We had a private onsen tub in the room and it's absolutely amazing. We could go soak in the tub whenever we like for however long time. Free breakfast were simple western bites but we ain't there for that. Highly recommended for solo, couple or family trip.

The staff were very friendly. The hotel was amazing. Loved having an Onsen in the hotel and a Footbath outside the lounge area. A couple of minutes walk to the Yubatake, restaurants and 711. I would recommend going to the supermarket or Lawsons near the bus station. Much quieter and more stock than the 711. There are no cooking utensils or plates and cutlery in the room but see the reception staff and they will give them to you. The Yubatake and surrounding area look amazing lit up at night. Loved our stay here

The property’s website did not have exact map to get there. I asked at the info center for direction but a couple from Hong Kong took 1 hour to locate the property. It was not mentioned there are long stairs to get there from “yubatake” tour spot. No elevators at the property you have to lug your suitcases up to your room.

Très belle hôtel , le personnel y est bienveillant . La chambre était spacieuse et le lit très confortable . Et le onsen très agréable . Hôtel situé à 1 minutes des points d'intérêts principaux . Seule petit bémol le petit déjeuné .

綺麗。草津は古い旅館やホテルが多いが、近代的。場所は裏草津だが、そちらは今どんどん開発され、同じく今風の和モダンなホテルも多い。立地が特に良い。 露天風呂客室は憧れるが、周辺に風呂はどれだけでもある。考えどころである。

The staff were very friendly. The hotel was amazing. Loved having an Onsen in the hotel and a Footbath outside the lounge area. A couple of minutes walk to the Yubatake, restaurants and 711. I would recommend going to the supermarket or Lawsons near the bus station. Much quieter and more stock than the 711. There are no cooking utensils or plates and cutlery in the room but see the reception staff and they will give them to you. The Yubatake and surrounding area look amazing lit up at night. Loved our stay here

Very closed to the bus station, which was about 5 mins walk. The hotel is building with old architecture, but with modern updates. It was an easy check-in process. Our room was really nice and spacious. The room was clean, but my blank had a small stain on the blanket. The wifi is really good. There is a public onsen on the lower floor for guests to enjoy. We reserved a 45 mins private onsen for 3200 yen. It was well worth it! The room was roomy and clean. It has a private shower and bathroom. The we enjoyed our private onsen. Very relaxing. Highly recommend. Some tips. Don't walk in the hotel with your shoes or sneakers. There are sandals that you can walk outside the streets with. It's located in the lockers with the keys when you entered the hotel. If you want to walk around the hotel you can walk with your socks or the staff can you give a sandals. Breakfast is a buffet. Limited selections, and you have to make a time slot rsvp. They bar closed around 10pm. We loved our one night stayed. We would come back again!

The location is good, within walking distance to city center Staff is very polite. The room is spacious. Breakfast is simple. The onsen does not have an elevator, so it's a bit difficult to carry the luggage up the stairs. Overall, it was a good stay.

Staff are extremely helpful & friendly, but I guess it's Japan's culture, rules can't bend a bit to accommodate clients needs. I missed breakfast coz of my very early departure & no boxed BF is allowed.

The place is close to the bus station and merely a block away from Yubatake. It's really clean and modern yet still have old school ryokan vibe. Free foot bath right at the lobby. Staff is polite and professional, speaks passable English which is better than my broken Japanese. We had a private onsen tub in the room and it's absolutely amazing. We could go soak in the tub whenever we like for however long time. Free breakfast were simple western bites but we ain't there for that. Highly recommended for solo, couple or family trip.

建物が古く廊下の歩く音や扉の閉める音がうるさい寝てても気になる 夕飯はついてないので毎晩外に出るのですが どこも混んでてご飯屋を探すのが大変 朝食はパンとスクランブルエッグとソーセージと豆乳とコーヒーオレンジジュース牛乳のみ 2泊しましたが二日目も同じなのが残念

湯畑から近いので、道は分かりやすいです。朝食はパンで軽食が食べれました。 部屋にはお風呂はないですが、大浴場がちょうどよい大きさです。ドリンクバーがあって助かりました。 木造建物なので、廊下が誰か通ると部屋まで聞こえるのが気になったので、星1つ減です。
