Very magical place. Must visiting one as tourist. Lots of bathhouses. Finding parking is little difficult for us as a foreigner. But at the last we found. The whole experience is nice and worthy. I enjoyed at the evening time with the lightings

It is a beautiful place. The view is awesome at night. It feels so nice to drink in from of this place. You can see a lot of stores here. And there is convenience store too. It is the most beautiful onsen place that I have ever seen in Japan

PSA: IT SMELLS LIKE ROTTEN EGGS But the view is as beautiful as the pictures make it to be. In fact, I'd say pictures don't do it justice as to how beautiful and lovely the atmosphere actually is. Please go visit, it's just large enough.. not too big where you feel like you can't explore the whole area. Also not too small where you get bored after 30 minutes to an hour.

Kusatsu Onsen is one of the most atmospheric onsen towns we have visited. The highlight was the Yubatake (hot water field) in the town centre. Seeing the steam rise at night was beautiful and calming. The walk along the nearby shopping street was enjoyable, with many small shops and snacks to explore at a relaxed pace. The whole area felt safe, clean and easy to navigate. A wonderful place to unwind and enjoy the onsen town ambience. Highly recommended for both first-time and returning visitors.

Very big landmark of this onsen city where surrounded by shops, restaurants, temple and hotels. Also have some spots to do the foot spa (onsen). We can smell the onsen water mineral. Really impressed

This location is one of the attractions of Japanese hot springs (onsen). It is not far from Osaka. It is very unique. You can enjoy a complimentary foot spa or public hot springs during your visit.

This place is not in everyone list but if you go there you will see hot sulfur water ponds this place is femous for winter season but you can do oneday trip from Tokyo There are some hotels and house you can find from Airbnb website Very small towns if you walk around you can see a small shop for shopping There is a temple and pagoda behind this water pond You have to climb few steps to reach there Very nice plaza surrounding this pond One of the nice place if you are visiting Japan

Absolutely loved Sainokawara Open Air Onsen – we enjoyed it so much, we went twice in one day! The morning visit was already amazing, but we were pleasantly surprised to find out there’s a mixed-gender session in the evening, which made the experience even more special. The view of nature surrounding the onsen was stunning, and the onsen itself is incredibly spacious – one of the largest open-air onsen we’ve been to. A must-visit if you're in Kusatsu.

It was my first time visiting here! I love the wider space here but the water wasn’t that clean and a lot of mosses. I don’t think taking bath during the midafternoon is a good idea. It’s bit hot and feeling slimy due to seaweed there. Since tons of people were there, water wasn’t not clear so recommended to go there early in the morning. Water is a bit salty and a cool experience for sure but there’s no shower so be aware of that! Other than that, enjoy! Cheers 🥂

This is my second favourite onsen in the area. There is only one pool area so the temperature selection is limited. The further you move away from the source the less hot it is, but it's still hot everywhere you go because it's just one pool. Important to note that there is no shower or rinse off area. I highly recommend to go on a day with a mix of sun and rain. This is my favourite onsen when it's raining.

Amazing onsen with a scenic view. There is only a locker room and a large bath (no individual showers or washing areas). I recommend preparing a 100 yen coin for the locker.

It's an outdoor hot spring with blue sky view and fresh air. When you sit in the water too long and feel too hot, you can stand up for the cold breeze. In winter, the onsen is surrounded by snow, and some of the soft snow even falls from the roof, creating an amazing experience. I highly recommend it. There's no place to shower. Bring your own towel to dry yourself.

It cost ¥800 to enter but well worth it. There is no proper shower place just a gallon of water with some small bucket to splash yourself. Bring your own (big & small) towel. Can be purchased but more pricey. Toliets are available. The onsen is very big also the size a basketball court. Surrounded my nature its very peaceful and relaxing in this public bath. Quite a walk up to this public bath but the scenery was beautiful.

It's the largest rotenburo open air bath in Kusatsu. Y800 but there are no showers/washing stations. The bath area is huge and is divided into men and women for bathing, except for Fridays when the two are connected for both men and women and then not for naked bathing, and you should bring your swim suit. They have a slight discount if you get multi-onsen tickets where you get to visit one or two others for the discounted price.

It suited my level beginner-intermediate snowboarding. Hardly any English signs in the area but enough friendly people trying their best to help. It's easy to get to as well from the town, I walked there via route 292. Some part of the road can be narrow but you can cut across via the Sainokawara park. The chair to the upper half of the skifield was closed due to strong wind but the sign was only at the entrance of the chair. However to get to this entrance, you'll have to go down slightly from the gondola exit, and when I figured it was closed, it's either walk uphill back to gondola platform or go down (intermediate). It was daunting as I was still a beginner at that stage. Also the gear rental can be done on site without online booking. Maybe it's communication difficulties, I was just given the gear, no fitting. Pretty much DIY. The gear rental accept credit card, but the entrance ticket office cash or cards only (I didn't pay attention which one). Food was decent and affordable. There's a water station in the cafeteria.

Throwback to where my skiing journey began! This special place holds my first memories on the slopes, and now it's where my kids discover the joy of snow for the very first time. Family fun and unforgettable moments!

such a fun experience. rented everything for a day pass and was so cool. tool lessons as well. the instructor did not speak English but we were able to get by with gestures. worth checking out if you are here.

It was my first time to try skiing. We arrived there on a Saturday afternoon, around 1pm, and we tried to rent the ski wear and gear, but there were no more available sizes for us. It was full, so we just rented in a nearby shop. After renting, we went back to the Ski Resort. It is a public space and skiing there is free, as long as you have a gear. I also learned that all residents of Kusatsu Onsen can freely avail of the Gondola and lift as much as they want. We joined the Kusatsu Ski School for 5000 yen. It was helpful if you're a beginner. I even lost track of time about how long that lasted, coz it was fun--maybe about 2 hours. The teacher tried his best to speak English. After that, we just enjoyed skiing in the area. We tried the Gondola for ¥2000, and we skied from there. There is a beginner-friendly route up there. My friends also tried the ski lift for also ¥2000. For a beginner like me, I was scared to try it coz jumping off at the top was scary. One of my friends also tripped over when she jumped down. Just be careful when you try it. There is also a food court, but expect that on the weekend, it is really packed. You have to wait for vacant tables before you can sit. There is also a souvenir shop. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience.

The ski resort is great for beginners. slopes are not so tough, so not scary to train for the first time. The snow was also good in February. And the best thing is that after snowboarding you can go to the best ever onsen of Kusatu

Must go! Sky swing, gondola and banzip tengu for 3100yen only, good for adults or family. Definitely will visit again in Winter!

The snow in this area is not as powdery and heavy as in northern Japan such as Hokkaido and Aomori. The slopes consist 50% beginner’s courses. Some of the routes are too flat or upwards. For first timer skiers and snowboarders it will be a good place to have fun. There is an area for kids too. The rental shop has old equipments and colorful wears. Canteen has quite a number of choices for lunch. Overall I recommend this place for first timer and beginners. There is one short route for intermediate level but might be too boring for those who seek challenges.

If you go extremely leisurely I think you can finish all routes in 90-120min. I circled the outer rim one time and it took about 45 min. Plenty of parking outside which is free. The scenery was quite good, with volcanic rock formations and autumn colours all around 😊 I came 31st Oct 2024 which was apparently a little past peak, though, 2024 was a later year than normal for autumn colours.

Oniōshidashi Volcanic Park is an incredible place to witness the raw power of nature. We visited in the morning and was amazed by the landscape — a vast field of jagged black lava rocks formed from the 1783 eruption of Mount Asama. Walking through the trails feels like exploring another planet, with panoramic mountain views and unique rock formations at every turn. The contrast between the dark volcanic terrain and the surrounding greenery is breathtaking. There’s also a peaceful temple dedicated to the Goddness of Mercy Kannon (观音) within the park that adds a spiritual touch to the experience. It’s well-maintained, easy to navigate, and offers great photo spots. A must-visit for nature lovers and geology enthusiasts alike. Do try to spot the luminous moss hidden between the rocks crevices. Suggest to apply sunscreen or sunblock especially when the weather is sunny! Entrance is ¥700 per adult and ¥500 per children. There is also a toll fee of ¥280 in and out of the vicinity.

Onioshidashi Volcanic Park is a truly unique place to visit. The entire landscape was formed by the 1783 eruption of Mount Asama, and walking through the rugged lava fields feels almost otherworldly. The pathways are well maintained and make it easy to explore the area at your own pace. There are clear viewpoints where you can see Mount Asama in the distance, quietly reminding you of the power of nature. It is both fascinating and peaceful, and definitely worth a stop if you are travelling around Karuizawa or the surrounding region. A memorable experience for both adults and children.

Very nice place with nice view and a temple. 2 hours would be more than enough for a full walk. If you are fast, 1 hour can cover most of the major routes.

A volcanic park that you shouldn’t miss! The view is absolutely stunning. A perfect spot to admire the beauty of nature with your own eyes 😂😂 The entrance fee is also very affordable

A nice scenery of volcanic rocks. It's a pity the place is covered with concrete and not much of the trail is kept natural. While I understand this makes it more accessible, it kind of killed the atmosphere for me. The buildings and facilities are also outdated, which gives it the feeling of an old theme park rather than a beautiful natural park. On top of that, half of the trails were closed because someone saw a bear a month ago. It would have been useful to know this when we entered. There's free parking, but to get here from Old Karuizawa or Kita-Karuizawa, you have to go through a paid "highway." I recommend setting your navigation for "no tolls," as we took a public road on the way back and it was a more comfortable drive. On the positive side, you can enter with a dog 🐕, and there's no additional fee for them. There's also a dog run next to the parking lot that costs about 1,000 yen (or 500 yen if you visit the park as well).

Love hiking. Looks awesome. Great views on Mt Asuma.

I've been many places and had an abundance of Sushi, but this place deserves to be legendary. The quality, the taste, they deserve the highest praise, it is just amazing. Some of the best Sushi I have ever had. I highly recommend this place, it is a hidden gem.

You can feel that the chef is a master of what he is doing. The rice, the fish, and the atmosphere seem authentic. You will not be disappointed.

Very quiet during dinner time. The sushi was good but a little more expensive for the amount you received. All of it was delicious though! The service was friendly and they seemed busy working on to go orders.

The restaurant is very cute. The sushi is delicious, the ingredients are cooked, and the chef and wait staff are very cute.

Sushi was delicious. The 6-piece maguro nigiri was SO GOOD!! Everybody was friendly. Highly recommend dining here.

Quiet ambience with decent sushi in a traditional setting.

Love this small hidden sushi bar. My wife and I went here for dinner and the food was fantastic! Being from Vancouver we are used to high quality sushi, but this brought an authentic sushi experience and very tasty fish. Highly recommend trying this place out for any sushi fan.

We had a wonderful dinner here last night (Thursday)! We are staying in the hotel next door and finally got around to trying this restaurant for dinner. We didn’t have any trouble getting a table early (around 5.30-6pm). We got lots of delicious little dishes, including potatoes that I loved!, and had the beef hot pot. It was one of the best meals I’ve had in Japan. We speak very little Japanese but everyone was so friendly and helpful!

Workers/ owners were the kindest we have ever met. They were extremely accommodating towards our group of eight nearing their closing time. Food was great and would absolutely recommend. :)

Quaint, local diner with home-style comfort food. Really nice and friendly lady proprietor. Highly recommended if staying in the area.

Excellent food and very friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Such a great dinner! Welcoming to non-Japanese speakers and one of our BEST meals in Japan.

Amazing food, wonderful staff, 10/10 would recommend. The beef dish is a must try.

Wonderful restaurant. Quaint, traditional Japanese themed building. Staff went above and beyond for us. Great menu to boot, recommended if you are in the area.

It’s a great place to take kids out for the entire day. Some rides could be updated, but it's a fun place to play. I recommend the adventure park located with the park. It is quite big and there is plenty of space to be wild. It's easy to lose track of time and spend a few hours at this attraction. There's forts, zip lines, places to climb and hike. Enjoy your visit!

Second times visit but this time on weekday. Stress free, less people around. Facilities seems dated but still so fun for kids. There were food trucks, which seems delicious. Less people in the afternoon.

This establishment is a suitable location for young children. My child derives great pleasure from visiting this establishment. It is advisable to utilize personal transportation when visiting this establishment. The establishment is not heavily populated, which results in a more enjoyable experience due to the absence of extensive queues.

It is a shame. The biggest attraction (kids adventure) is closed under perfect sunny weather. Staff said strong winds (no proof), and not shown in any app or sensed by anyone but herself. No refund, no notice before entry. It’s just a scam.

Excellent amusement park for kids ages 1-8. The athletics area is the best area, similar to the forest adventure for kids. If they want to go one the rides I’d recommend getting a one day pass, but if they are content to just playing with toy’s then an entrance ticket is enough

It's ok. Limited and dated rides - as long as the kids have fun.

The climbing and play area in the forest is nice and quite large. The rides are typical of small theme parks. Very short, very small and generally only good for kids under 8. Wait times were very short otherwise none of the rides would be worth anyone's time.

(Translated by Google) This is the perfect mountain for beginner climbers. It's easy to climb, with just the right slope and distance. There are no dangerous points and it's mostly in the shade, so it's comfortable. The view from the summit was also beautiful. There are rest points along the way, so you can enjoy a meal on a covered bench. There were not many climbers, so it was nice and quiet. The car park at the holiday village is large, so it's easy to park. (Original) 初心者登山にうってつけの山。 登りやすく、ちょうど良い傾斜と距離です。 危ないポイントもなく、ほとんど日陰なので快適です。 頂上からの景色も綺麗でした。 途中休憩ポイントがあるので、屋根のあるベンチで食事を楽しめます。 登山者が少なく、静かで良かったです。 休暇村の駐車場も広いので停めやすい。

(Translated by Google) It is a 2 hour round trip from Kyukamura. Easy to walk and the breeze at the top is pleasant You won't get confused. (Original) 休暇村から往復2時間です。 歩きやすく頂上の風は気持ちよく 迷うこともないです。

(Translated by Google) About 1 hour walk from Kyukamura parking lot There are no difficult places A spot where you can clearly see Mt. Asama and Mt. Shia (Original) 休暇村の駐車場から歩いて1時間くらい 難しい場所もない 浅間山と四阿山がよく見えるスポット

Stumbled on this viewpoint whilst driving from Nagano to Kusatsu. Beautiful view, interesting art. Give it a look if you’re in the area.

Nice spot to stop and admire the beauty of the surrounding fields and hills!

Great view on the famous Tsumagoi cabbage fields. Be sure to buy some cabbages to go!

Beautiful view. Found this viewpoint on the way to Kusatsu

Amazing place out of no where. Just driving thru and there's this amazing place.

Nice place, views of Lake Tashiro.

Nice

Quite pleasant hike, at least at the beginning, as we got there to late to hike to the top of the mount. The way there is a bit tricky: you gotta take a bus from Ueda Station, get off at Sugaidara Dabos, and from there walk to the farm where you start the hike. In our case, the bus driver didn't let us know as we reached the last station, just turned around and started driving back. So we had to walk back to Davos and then to the farm. So pay attention to the last attention. Other than that, it's a hike to be recommended. Views are quite nice as one climbs up.

very nice place for relaxation.

Super

(Translated by Google) Climbing Mount Azuma, one of the 100 famous mountains♪ I took a 1-hour bus ride from Ueda Station on the JR Hokuriku Shinkansen line, and started climbing from the Davos bus stop! From Sugadaira Ranch, the trail was gentle, the scenery changed from time to time, and the summit came into view. It was a very fun and easy trail to walk on♪ Unfortunately, the summit was shrouded in mist that day, and the view was only towards Mt. Nekodake, but I would like to come and visit again! (Original) 百名山四阿山登山♪ JR北陸新幹線、上田駅からバスに1時間乗車、ダボスバス停より登って来ました！ 菅平牧場からなだらかなトレイル、時折変わる風景、見えてくる山頂、非常に楽しくて歩きやすいトレイルでした♪ 残念ながらこの日の山頂はガスに包まれており、眺望が根子岳方面しか見えませんでしたが、また遊びに来たいと思います！

(Translated by Google) From Sugadaira Ranch, we first climbed Mt. Nekodake and then circled around it. The route was mostly through Japanese kuma bamboo grass. The bamboo grass was wet from the rain that had fallen overnight, so we decided to use only the bottom layer of our rain gear for the rest of the climb. From the summit, we could clearly see the Northern Alps above the clouds. It was also wonderful to see the ranch through gaps in the clouds. (Original) 菅平牧場から先ず根子岳へ登り周回しました。 ほぼ熊笹の中のルートです。夜中降った雨で熊笹が濡れているので途中より雨具を下だけ使用して登ることになりました。 山頂からは雲の上に北アルプスがよく見えていました。雲の切れ間から牧場が見えていたのも素敵です。

Good 👍🏼

The trail is well-maintained, but there are some landslides (detours available). As there is a fair amount of walking through bamboo thickets, we recommend wearing long sleeves and pants.

Hotel Karuizawa 1130 is a spacious hotel with a relaxing on-site hot spring. While the rooms are comfortable, the restaurant can become quite busy, especially during mealtimes. Be prepared for potential wait times at the buffet.

The service of the staff here towards foreign travelers is very poor. This was my first experience in a Japanese hotel where staff were rude to overseas guests. During this stay, I encountered two unpleasant experiences. The first was during breakfast. I informed the staff that my family had mobility issues and requested a seat on the second floor that did not require going up stairs. However, the staff firmly stated that because we arrived after 7:30 AM, they could not accommodate our request. At that time, there were vacant seats on the second floor, and friends in our group who arrived after 7:30 were seated there, but the staff insisted we could not change our seats. Our breakfast time was from 7:30 to 9:00, and throughout the process, the staff's attitude was very unfriendly. The second experience was at the hotel's Nonoka, where I wanted to book a massage. I told the staff my request in English, but after exchanging a glance with the massage therapist nearby, they directly told me that the bookings were full. I hadn't even mentioned a specific time or details before being rejected, even though the massage room was obviously empty. It is clear that the staff at this hotel do not treat travelers very kindly.

To be honest, the hotel felt more like a holiday chalet, with all the local kids and families. But the front desk manager's service is impeccable. He did not understand my question about where I can see the sunrise on ground level and thought I was asking about the operating hours of the observatory on Level 8. But he realised I was still on level 8 after finding no suitable photo angles on ground level, he opened the observatory 1 hour earlier for me and my group mates. He also waved our bus off later that morning! Very thoughtful! Highly appreciated!

Rooms are spacious. However this hotel is historical. Just about everything is old/dated. Started sneezing as soon as I entered the room. Mattress is VERY old with springs poking me.

Grand resort from the bygone era. The massive building stood out from the quiet leafy neighbourhood. Our twin room was very spacious with living area. Extensive breakfast options. Loved the picked vegetable section. Do go early for a window table. The hotel is a little far from Karuizawa but since it is higher above on the plateau we got to enjoyed cooler weather.

We booked the open-air private hot tub room with mountain view for 2 people. The room was huge, the hot tub was really nice (altho its not onsen), the amenities were super cute. Breakfast at the hotel was really good, they had freshly made rice ball (onigiri). The hotel was really nice that they let us take the shuttle bus from Karuizawa Station back to the hotel as we left our purse after driving back to Shinjuku. WE really appreciate it!

The room is spacey, but smells aged from the second you stepped into the room. Staffs are helpful, because we were not driving front staff communicated to the taxi driver for reserving the way back. Buffett provides good variation, can't say it's tasty, it's average. It's convenient for those travellers who drive to the hotel.

Excellent Tempura!

(Translated by Google) I happened to see the sign while on a tour and stopped in. The parking lot was small and gravel, so it was a bit inconvenient on a motorcycle. When I entered the restaurant, I thought "Is this someone's house?", but once inside, it was really nice. This time I sat at the counter, but next time I'd like to eat around the hearth. The tempura was crispy and the soba was delicious, and my favorite was the soba soup. It was probably the most delicious soba soup I've ever had❗(This is just my personal opinion) I'd like to stop by again if I'm in the area. (Original) ツーリングの途中で偶然看板を見つけて立ち寄りました。 駐車場が狭く砂利だったのでバイクだとちょっと不便に感じました お店は入り口入ってすぐは『誰かのお家?』と思いましたが、入ったらすごく素敵でした。 今回はカウンターでしたが、次は囲炉裏を囲んで食べたいです。 お料理は天婦羅はサクサクお蕎麦は美味だし、一番のお気に入りは蕎麦湯でした。今まで飲んできた蕎麦湯で一番美味しかったかも❗(個人的感想ですが) また近くに来たら立ち寄りたいです。

(Translated by Google) I visited at lunchtime. You have to take your shoes off, so it might be difficult for people with sweaty feet from wearing boots. The restaurant has a table that seats four and a counter. The buckwheat flour is apparently made from stone-ground domestic Hitachi Autumn buckwheat. The soba bags are also displayed on the wall. I ordered a large serving of soba noodles, which I think is just right for a man. Other customers ordered tempura, which was crispy and looked delicious. I would give this soba, made from 100% domestic buckwheat flour, five stars, but I had been seeing buckwheat flowers all the way on my way from Ueda City to Tsumagoi Village, so my mind was completely on Shinshu soba. I was a little disappointed, so I gave it four stars. It's not that the restaurant is bad. (Original) お昼に伺いました。 靴を脱ぐのでブーツで足が蒸れてる人は入りにくいかも。 店内は4人掛けの卓とカウンター。 国産の常陸秋そばを石臼で挽いたそば粉とのこと。 そばの袋も壁に飾ってあります。 盛りそばの大盛りを注文しましたが、男性なら大盛りでちょうど良いと思います。 天ぷらは他のお客さんが注文していましたが、サクサクでおいしそうでした。 国産そば粉100％のそばは星5にしたいところですが、上田市から嬬恋村に向かう途中でそばの花をずっと見てきましたので頭の中は完全に信州そば。 ちょっとがっかりしたので星4にしました。 お店が悪い訳じゃないです。

(Translated by Google) The restaurant has the feel of an old-fashioned Japanese house. You take off your shoes in the shoe locker, as if you were entering someone else's home. There is an exhibition of old folk items such as plates and paintings. I had the tempura soba. It was 28% buckwheat soba, but it had a strong soba flavor. The tempura was crispy and delicious. The two shrimp were a delicacy. (Original) 古民家風の佇まい。まるで他人の家に上がり込むように、下駄箱で靴を脱ぐ。皿や絵など古民具の展示がある。天せいろをたべた。二八そばだがそばの風味がする。天ぷらもサクサクで美味。エビ2本は豪華。

(Translated by Google) Visited in mid-July 2024 There was a sign at the Aizu-no-Oka parking lot on my favorite driving course, the Panorama Line, and I had always been interested in it, but I never stopped by. This time I was with a friend, so my wish came true and I went in for the first time. It's a small residential area and a little hard to find, but it seems to be a popular restaurant. Unfortunately, it was raining, so there were no customers there, but after that, customers started coming in one after another. . . At the counter The soba is 100% soba! Slightly thick noodles and soba soup with strong flavor (I personally prefer a little sweeter). I forgot to take a photo, but it was delicious. There's a reason for this... . . During the meal, I got excited talking about sake with the owner, and the owner, who is from Aomori, bought it himself, and lined up a row of Aomori's famous sake, "Denshu". . . I just have to drink it! I took a good photo of this one. Thanks to that, I had a very good time. I'll come again... . . But it's been a year It's about time to go cool off. . .

(Translated by Google) It was a delicious soba noodle with a smooth texture that was perfect for summer! I had the tempura soba and the duck soba. (Original) ツルッとした喉越しの夏には最適な美味しいお蕎麦でした！天せいろとつけ鴨せいろをいただきました

(Translated by Google) I was driving along the national highway when I saw a soba banner, so I stopped in. There is only space for two cars in front of the shop, but there are several more in the plaza just ahead, so no need to worry. The menu only offers soba noodles, and the basic style is 28% buckwheat soba, but they also offer a limited quantity of 100% buckwheat soba. They say they use Hitachi Autumn Soba flour. The condiment is grated daikon radish instead of wasabi. The soba soup is thick and enjoyable to the last bite.

Last Christmas, we visited Japan and wanted to learn how to ski. Staying at this resort was worth it—the ski instructors were excellent and provided personalized lessons based on individual needs. The staff, in general, were very friendly. However, the resort's buildings needed some maintenance, especially the doors, which required repairs. Dinner was disappointing due to the limited selection of Japanese food, which ran out quickly and was often served cold. Keeping the food warm should have been easy, but with dinner starting at 6 PM, arriving just 20 minutes late meant most of the food was already gone. Surprisingly, for a winter resort, there was no bar open during the day or evening—only during dinner service. Additionally, there were very few restaurants offering hot snacks or drinks for skiers to enjoy outdoors in the cold weather. As tourists, we also expected to find souvenirs like magnets, but none were available. There were no options for sightseeing in nearby small towns, and the resort didn’t offer any local products.

My first time ski in-out resort. I love that I can skiing all day long. Room and hotel is traditional decoration style, some light did not work out but it is not serious trouble for me. I love most is the environment around hotel. I came on high foggy days but still got my impressive in another way. It will be in my next year plan to revisit there!

This hotel is absolutely lovely. All hotel’s staffs are really helpful and try very hard to make your stay memorable. The hotel manager is professional, On the first night our room had a problem and she offered a solution to fix this problem immediately. We love the staffs here. Ski in & Ski out is another great thing, our room has a view of ski slope and looks stunning when snowing. Onsen is average but offers everything you need. Free snowboard lesson also another nice offer of this hotel if you stay more than 3 nights. Sharon, snowboard instructor is the best. She is so skilled and patience to teach you. If you had a lesson with her, you will improve quickly. However, the other snowboard instructors are not good. They don’t teach you much at all and once you start asking questions (even about snowboard’s topic) they will get annoyed and give you answers that you don’t expect to hear and make you stop asking. I hope they will improve their issue in the future. We really like this hotel and looking forward to visit here again next season.

1st time to this ski resort. All the conveniences of a free shuttle bus pick up to and fro (hotel to Karuizawa station), breakfast and dinner provided (you can choose your options), onsen facilities, free ski locker for hotel guests, ski school and ski rentals under under one roof made this place simply amazing! Nice comfortable and clean rooms and a super friendly & responsive staff headed by Thansinee. Not forgetting the great ski instructors I had. So glad I chose a different place to ski this year!

My partner and I really enjoyed our 5days stay and ski in this hotel. Room was simple(back to the 90s) but clean and quiet. We also enjoyed the hotel's indoor onsen, especially after our daily skiing. I was unwell and asked the receptionist if I could see a doctor. They were so helpful to arrange the transport and also informed the clinic of my symptoms ahead of my visit. The staff even called to check on me that evening. Really appreciate that personal touch from the team. Skiing: the slopes are beginner friendly. From someone like me who didn't know how to ski, managed to ski down the slope by day 2. The instructors were very friendly and patient. Highly recommended to take up the skiing class. It's not a luxury resort, but it was really nice and cozy. At the end of the stay, we managed to make a few friends with fellow hotel guests. Nice small community. Highly recommended.

Had a very nice experience staying at the resort Having never skied before I had 2.5 days of ski lessons , I left after a 4 day stay being able to navigate the slopes confidently and safely. Big thanks for the ski lessons of Katey , Molly and Eugene which were all amazing and very patient. The hotel manager was also amazing and very helpful. I would come back .

Convenient ski resort coming from Tokyo ! Free shuttle bus from karuizawa station . Though the hotel is a bit dated, it’s still a good option where you have everything you need for a relaxed ski holiday. Lifts were not too crowded and gondolas make life easier. Sharon White the snowboard instructor, she was so patient and Taught me some grounds tricks . Can’t wait for the next season to be back .

Just found out that there is Mount Kusatsu, I always go to the hot springs. Today we arrived at Mount Kusatsu. It's a shame because it's foggy and the weather isn't good, you can't see the sulfur, the road is being repaired, and the parking lot is closed, a little below there is a place to park, there are wild blueberries growing on the rocks, the area is really beautiful and amazing, you can feel the clouds and sky very close. I'll come again.

Great view, splendid drive.

Went there on a cloudy rainy day with mist obscuring the distance peaks. The drive up is quite scary with hair pin turns and there are sections with strong hydrogen sulphide smell coming through the cracks in the ground.

Off limits to hikers since 2018 volcanic eruption 🌋

Mt,Shirane claim from the parking about 20minutes very hard.But very beautiful lake waiting for you.the lake color emerald green very beautiful!

Beautiful

This Place Is Heaven of Earth to Me..❤️

(Translated by Google) You can walk around the Jigokudani-like area of ​​Manza Onsen. The view overlooking Manza Onsen is very good! There are well-maintained wooden paths, etc., so it's intuitive, but if you're not good at climbing, you might want to go counterclockwise, and if you're not good at going down, you might want to go clockwise. (Original) 万座温泉の地獄谷の様な所を周回散策出来ます。　万座温泉を見渡せる眺望はとても良いです！　木道等で整備もされていて、感覚的ですが、登りが苦手なら反時計周り、下りが苦手なら時計回りが良いかも？

(Translated by Google) Manza Onsen Observatory - Free There were people hiking there so it seems like there is a hiking course The scenery on the way here is nice so I stayed in Kusatsu and drove here (touring) The scenery is quite interesting as you can see a lot of things on the way There are benches so it's a good place to take a break If you try hard enough you can get to Hara Observatory a little further ahead Beware of bears🐻 (Original) 万座温泉の展望台　無料 ハイクできてる人もいたのでハイクコースがあるみたい ここまでくる道中の景色がいいので草津に泊まってこちらまでドライブ(ツーリング) 景色は道中が色々見れてまあまあ面白い ベンチがあるから休憩にも良い 頑張ればもう少し先に晴見台もある 熊🐻注意

(Translated by Google) I visited on Saturday, May 4th. Kumashiro Mountain Promenade We parked in the parking lot and walked around the promenade counterclockwise. Please be aware that there are long stairs with different heights. There was some snow left on the promenade on the far right side, but I was able to follow the footsteps without any difficulty. You can see all the way to Yubatake from the observation deck, but it's not touristy like Kusatsu, so it's a natural view (perhaps a compact version of Noboribetsu). Recommended for those with healthy legs (Original) 5月4日(土)に訪問しました 熊四郎山遊歩道 駐車場に駐車して、反時計回りに遊歩道を回りました 高低差があり長い階段がありますので、ご注意ください 右奥側の一部の遊歩道に雪が残っていましたが、踏み跡をたどり難なく歩けました 展望台からは湯畑まで一望できますが、草津のように観光化されていないので、自然な眺望です(登別のコンパクト版でしょうか) 健脚の方にお勧めします

(Translated by Google) It's not too much of a walk, so it's easy to get there. It's a short climb from the Yubatake. It's well maintained and easy to walk on. However, if you have trouble walking, it's best not to push yourself too hard. (Original) それほど歩かないので気軽に行けます。湯畑から少し登るとあります。整備されて歩きやすいです。でも、足の悪い方は無理しない方が良いですね。

(Translated by Google) Rather than an observation deck, the promenade here has a good view, the stairs are nice, and if you go counterclockwise, there are moderate ups and downs (the ups are spread out). By the way, there was a sign that said the bear path was through the bamboo bushes, so I made some noise as I passed. Also, the gravel road below is closed, so you have to go down further and pass by the Yubatake field, but the facilities are very poor and you can't get close to it because of the fence. It's a waste. (Original) 展望台というよりも、ここの遊歩道、見晴らしも良く、階段がセンス良い、左回りなら適度なアップダウン(上りが分散してる)。因みに、笹薮のところが熊の通り道との看板あるので、音をたてて通しました。また、下の砂利道が通行止めで、更に降りて湯畑横を通りますが、設備が非常に残念だし、フェンスで近寄れません。勿体無い。

(Translated by Google) An observation deck overlooking Manza Onsen Yubatake. It's about a 15 minute walk from where you park your car. You can go with sandals, but the stones are rough so sneakers are recommended. Also, be careful as you will smell quite a bit of sulfur gas before you go. The view of Yubatake from above is nice. (Original) 万座温泉湯畑が望める展望台。車を停めて歩いて１５分ほどの所にあります。一応サンダルでも行けますが、石がゴロゴロしているのでスニーカーなどの方がオススメです。また、行くまでに結構硫黄ガスの香りがしますのでお気をつけて。 上から見る湯畑が良いです。

(Translated by Google) 8-12-23 It's a little far from Manza Kogen Hotel. If you miss this place, it's a shame. It's beautiful and fun to walk through the snow. If you miss it a little bit, there's a hole that's knee-deep. The view from the top is beautiful. Highly recommended. Regarding traveling by public transportation, it's difficult to recommend. We just drove up there ourselves. (Original) 8-12-23 ห่างจากManza Kogen Hotel นิดเดียว ถ้าพลาดตรงนี้เสียดายแย่เลย สวยงาม เดินลุยหิมะกันสนุก พลาดนิดเดียว เป็นหลุม ลึกถึงเข่า วิวด้านบนสวย แนะนำอย่างยิ่ง เรื่องการเดินทางด้วยรถสาธารณะ แนะนำยาก พอดี เราขับรถขึ้นไปกันเอง

Great smell of the sulfur! White rocks on the river bad. Big free parking here.

(Translated by Google) You can see the scenery in the photo almost from inside the parking lot, so I think it's a good idea to go. On the day I went, there wasn't much of a smell, probably because of the fog, but gas seems to be emitted depending on the day. The river is a bluish white color, and I feel it is a rarer sight than the riverbed to the west of Kusatsu. A nature center is adjacent. (Original) ほぼ駐車場内から写真の風景が見えるので、せっかくなので行くのが正解だと思います。自分が行った日は霧のせいか匂いはさほどしませんでしたが日によってガスも発生しているようです。 川が青みがかった白だったり、草津の西の河原より珍しい光景な気がします。 自然センターが隣接しています。

(Translated by Google) After feeling disappointed that I couldn't make it to the Yubatake hot springs at Manza Onsen, I discovered this place. It's a majestic and powerful spot where you can really feel the bubbling life of nature, not just the volcano. The high toll fees are a drawback to the Manza Highway, but visiting spots like this makes you really feel that the toll was worth it. There's also a large parking lot with clean restrooms, making it a great place to rest. The smell of sulfur and the milky white hot spring river, billowing steam. I'm glad I stopped by. (Original) 万座温泉の湯畑に辿り着けなくて残念な気持ちでいた後、こちらを発見。 火山というか自然の生命を沸々と感じられるスポットで雄大でとても力強いです。 有料道路の値段が高いのがネックな万座ハイウェーですが どうせこういったスポットをまわっていくと有料道路の支払った価値もあるという実感が持てます。 広い駐車場に綺麗なお手洗いを備えた施設もあり 休憩スポットとしても非常に良いです。 硫黄の香りと モクモク湯気をあげる白濁とした温泉の川。 寄ってよかったです。

(Translated by Google) August 31, 2025 Steam and hydrogen sulfide gas were coming out of the treeless mountainside. It's dangerous, so we can't get close, but it must have felt like hell on earth. (Original) 2025/8/31 木々の全くない山肌から、蒸気と硫化水素ガスが出ていました。危険なため、近くには行けませんが、この世の地獄といった感じですかね。

(Translated by Google) From the back of the parking lot, we could see steam coming out of the mountain slope. The river was also white with sulfur. (Original) 駐車場の奥から、山の斜面に噴気が出ているのが見えました。川も硫黄で白くなっています。

(Translated by Google) There's a parking lot right in front so you can get a close look! I didn't smell any sulfur on the day I visited (lol) (Original) 目の前に駐車場もあるので近くで見ることができます！ この日は硫黄臭は、しませんでした(笑)

(Translated by Google) You can see it from the parking lot. There is an observation deck, but the view doesn't change much. (Original) 駐車場から見えます。展望台もあるのですがあまり景色は変わらないです。

Good side trip from Kusatsu Onsen. Take the bus or walk the trail to the moss area. We chose to walk the trail heading back and saw the nice little shrine on the way.

This natural park features a fountain of hot spring water that supports a kind of moss adapted to living in the acidic water. It looks beautiful when the weather is rainy and cool, but unfortunately I went in mid-August after a historic hot and dry spell, so most of the moss had gone dormant or died back. It's still a beautiful location and there are trails that go off from here to internationally recognized wetlands in the mountains. As far as I know, you need a car to get here and finding it can be a bit tricky. Parking is free but there is a charge for entry of 500 yen if I remember. A shuttle bus is available from the visitor center to the moss area, but the 30 minute walk through the forest is easy and beautiful itself. A small shop at the entrance sells local products and ice cream. Although it doesn't seem too touristy yet, there were a number of foreign visitors -- I just hope it doesn't become overrun with horrible bus tours.

I suggest this is a must visit if you travel to Kusatsu village. A bit of drive from the village but believe me it worth the effort. The place still not very touristy. So you can have your solitude walking there. Very very nice, i love it.

I learned for the first time about a moss called Schistosoma nigricans. It seems that this moss absorbs iron and creates iron ore, and I was reminded of the wonder of living things.

ReFRESHING LATE SUMMER TIME /FROM INFORMATION AND TICKET CORNER /600yen EACH PERSON TO ENTER THIS PLACE FOR SHORT HIKINGCOURSE&FALLS VIEWING ,ENJOYING THE BEAUTY OF NATURE,BUY HIKING OR YOU CAN RIDE A BUS FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE ,NICE PLACE FOR BREATHTAKING !

awesome

(Translated by Google) Visited on October 13, 2025 I paid the 600 yen admission fee and headed out to explore. *Elementary school children were free. There were two options: a 5-minute bus ride or a 30-40 minute hike along a hiking trail. I took the hiking trail on the way there, taking it easy. There's a boardwalk near the summit, allowing you to see the moss growing in abundance. After finishing my tour, a bus just happened to arrive at the bus rotary at the summit, so I took it back. The park was well-maintained, making it very easy to explore. (Original) 2025年10月13日に訪問 入園料600円を払い見学へ ※小学生の子供は無料でした。 バスで5分ぐらい行くのと、登山道？を30〜40分ぐらい歩く2パターンがありました。行きは登山道でゆっくり行きました。 頂上付近に木道が整備されていてその周辺に群生してる苔を見学出来る感じです。 見学が終わると頂上のバスロータリーに丁度バスが来たので帰りはバスで帰りました。 綺麗に整備されていたのでとても見学しやすかったです。

(Translated by Google) We parked our car at Shibu Pass and hiked for less than an hour downhill and over an hour uphill. It's not as good as a promenade as there are a lot of rocks, but the slope is gentle and the time difference between going up and down is not that great. The altitude difference is approximately 300 meters. Yoshikedaira Wetland is a 600 meter loop of the wooden path. I imagine it would be beautiful in early summer with cotton sedges and in autumn. There are also some ponds. I guess the best time is when the leaves turn red. Shibu Pass is 2,100 meters above sea level, so it's quite cool even when the city is extremely hot. ✳Currently, perhaps due to volcanic activity, the parking lot near Mt. Shirane is closed, and the promenade that goes down from Yugama to Yoshikedaira is also closed, so the only way to get to Yoshikedaira Wetland is from Shibu Pass. (Original) 渋峠に車を止めて、行きは下り１時間弱、登り１時間強のハイキング。 岩がゴロゴロしているので遊歩道並みとはいかないが、傾斜は緩やかで登り下りの時間差はさほどない。 標高差約300メートル。 芳ケ平湿原は木道600メートルの周回。初夏にはワタスゲ、紅葉時はキレイだろうな、と想像する。池塘もいくつか。 やはり紅葉時かベストか。 渋峠で標高2100メートルなので街が猛暑でもかなり涼しい。 ✳今は火山活動の関係か、白根山付近の駐車場も閉鎖、湯釜から芳ケ平に降りる遊歩道も閉鎖されているので、芳ケ平湿原に行くには、渋峠からしか事実上ない形になる。

(Translated by Google) 2024.06.26 Visit After climbing Mt. Yokote, I went from Shibu Pass to Yoshigahira Wetland. It was about 3km to the wetland, and we descended through a variety of roads, including wooden paths, log bridges, rough stone paths, and large rocky paths, all while being mindful of the uphill climbs on the way back. Mostly in the forest zone, I was able to see Yoshigahira Wetland and Mt. Shirane several times below. The halfway point, Damashi-daira, seemed quite long and I thought it was still going down, but as I made my way through the latter half, I heard the sound of a flowing river and saw a cluster of cotton grass waving in the refreshing breeze in front of me. , I couldn't help but cry out. There was a wooden path around the wetland, and we were able to enjoy the ponds and cotton sedges. There was also a bench, so I was able to take a relaxing break while watching the cotton grass. After this, I went to Yoshigadaira Hutte and returned by piston, but it was a very difficult climb back. However, I think the scenery of the cotton grass clumps and vast wetlands is worth going to. (Original) 2024.06.26 訪問 横手山登山の後、渋峠から芳ヶ平湿原に行きました。 湿原まで約3キロ、木道や丸太の橋、ゴロゴロ石の道や大きな岩場の道、などなどさまざまなバリエーションの道を、帰りの上り返しを気にしながら下りました。 ほとんど樹林帯の中、何回か眼下に芳ヶ平湿原と白根山を見る事が出来ました。 中間点のダマシ平がけっこう長く感じ、まだ下るのかと思いましたが、後半分を頑張って進んだ先に、川の流れる音が聞こえ目の前に爽やかな風になびくワタスゲの群生を見たら、思わず声が出てしまいました。 湿原には、木道の周遊路があり池塘やワタスゲの群生を堪能することが出来ました。 ベンチもありましたので、ワタスゲを見ながらゆっくり休憩することも出来ました。 この後、芳ヶ平ヒュッテまで行きピストンで帰りましたが、とても辛い上り返しでした。 でも、ワタスゲの群生と広大な湿原の景観は行く価値の有る場所だと思います。

(Translated by Google) I set off from Shibu Pass early in the morning on a fine day. There was a cool breeze that made me forget the heat below. It was also refreshing to see the wind rippling the surface of the swamp at times. There were not many people around that day, and my friend and I spent the time talking about how it felt like we had come to heaven. With cotton-sedge and reed-like plants visible, and a river that looked like a small waterfall in the distance, and the only sound we could hear was the sound of the river, it felt like we had wandered into another world. I hope that with the consideration of the managers and users, this scenery will remain in this state for the foreseeable future. (Original) お天気の良い日に朝早めに渋峠からくだっていきました。　下界の暑さを忘れる涼しさと微風が吹いています。時に沼の水面を風が波立たせるのも涼しげてした。 この日は人も少なく、まるで天国に来たみたいだねと友人と話しながら過ごしました。 わたすげや葦のような植物、遠くには小さな滝のような川も見られて、川の水の音だけが聞こえ、別世界にさ迷い込んだようでした。 今後もこの景色が管理者の方々や利用者の配慮によってこなままの状態で存続することを願います。

(Translated by Google) I visited on September 29, 2025. It's about an hour from Shibu Pass and the hiking trail is easy to follow, so if you're just looking to hike, it might not be enough (lol). I was able to spend a quiet moment feeling the coming of autumn. (Original) 2025年9月29日に訪問しました。渋峠から1時間程で登山道も歩きやすいので、歩くのが目的だと少し物足りなく感じるかも知れません(笑)秋の訪れを感じながら静かな一時を過ごす事が出来ました♪

(Translated by Google) July 8, 2024 While heat stroke warnings have been issued every day in the lower regions, here it is 18 degrees Celsius at 12 noon... A world where you can be healed just by going down from Shibu Pass. There were so many flowers and I was too busy taking photos to arrive at the place. I didn't get to see Hutte's dog today. It's a shame, but I'm glad I got to see the rare character Monroe Lip. (Original) 2024年7月8日 下界では熱中症警報が連日出されている中、ここは昼12時で18℃… 渋峠からちょいと下るだけで癒される世界。花が多くて写真撮るのに忙しくてちっとも到着できないw今日はヒュッテのワンコには会えませんでした。残念だけどレアキャラのモンローリップを見れたから良し

(Translated by Google) This wetland is like a miniature garden inside a volcano. You can see the whole thing from the highest point on the national highway. Due to volcano regulations, you can go from Shibu Pass. (Original) 火山の中にある箱庭のような湿原です。 国道最高地点から全体を眺める事ができます。 火山規制があるため、渋峠から赴く事ができます。

(Translated by Google) At Yoshigahira, you can relax in the marshland, watch the cotton grass swaying in the wind in early summer and the autumn leaves turning red in autumn, and pet your dog while enjoying coffee at Yoshigahira Hut. It's heaven. Currently, you cannot go to Yugama on Mt. Kusatsu-Shirane due to volcanic restrictions, but Yoshigahira is just about OK, so you can see steam rising from the mountainside of Mt. Kusatsu-Shirane. However, I think the only way to get to Yoshigahira is to walk with hiking gear. I think it's common to walk down from Shibu Pass, but the path is quite stony, so people who are not used to hiking may have a hard time climbing back up on the way back. Alternatively, you need to cross the Ohira Marsh from Chatsubomigoke Park while looking at Oike Pond or Heibei Pond, and then climb an even steeper mountain trail. This is quite a distance and has a large difference in altitude. There is a viewpoint that overlooks the marsh from National Route 292, but if you are a marsh lover, you will definitely be impressed by the marsh you will want to walk through and see up close. (Original) 芳が平は、湿原でマッタリして、初夏はワタスゲが風に揺られるところを秋は草紅葉を眺めて、芳ヶ平ヒュッテでコーヒーを頂きながらワンちゃんをモフモフして、天国です。 草津白根山は現在は火山規制で湯釜に行けませんが、芳が平はギリ・オッケーなので、草津白根山の山肌から水蒸気が上がる所を眺められます。 しかし、芳ヶ平へは登山装備で歩いて行くしかないと思います。渋峠から歩いて下りて行くのが一般的かと思いますが、結構、石の多い道で、山歩きに慣れていない人は帰りの登り返しで手こずるかもしれないです。またはチャツボミゴケ公園から大池または平兵衛池を眺めながら大平湿原を越えて、さらに急になってゆく登山道を登ってゆく必要があります。こちらは結構距離と標高差あります。 国道292号線から見下ろせるビューポイントもありますが、湿原好きであれば自分で歩いて間近で拝見したい感動確実の湿原になります。

nice easy. walk, good for kids too

(Translated by Google) A highly transparent pond in Manza Onsen. The circumference is about 200 meters, and there is also an arbor, so it might be a good place to relax. If there is no wind, the sky will be reflected beautifully in the pond. (Original) 万座温泉にある透明度の高い池。周囲は２００メートルほどだそうで、東屋もあるしぼーっとするには良いかも。 風がなければ、池には空が綺麗に映ります。

(Translated by Google) This cow pond caught my eye during my stay at Manza Onsen. It is said that it was given this name because it is so deep that a cow could sink into it. The stunning emerald green color is so beautiful that you will forget the passage of time. Maruike-sama in Yuza Town, Yamagata Prefecture was beautiful, but Ushiike is also not to be underestimated. There are wooden paths around the area, so you can take a leisurely stroll through the wetlands. You won't be able to enjoy it as much as you should in the winter when the plants start to die, but I think it would be great if you could visit in the spring and summer. (Original) 万座温泉での滞在中に目に留まったこちらの牛池 なんでも牛が沈み込むほどの深さを誇ることからこの名称がつけられたそうです。 見事なまでのエメラルドグリーン色はあまりの美しさに時が経つのを忘れてしまうほど 山形県の遊佐町にある丸池様も美しかったですが牛池も侮れません。 周囲は木道があるのでじっくりと湿原を散策できます。 草木も枯れ始める冬の時期は本来の楽しみは出来ませんが春夏あたりに訪れることができたら最高だと思います。

(Translated by Google) It's small, but the water is very clear. Be sure to check it out when you're exploring Manza 😆 (Original) 小さいです けどめっちゃ透明度の高い水です 万座散策に是非😆

(Translated by Google) There is a promenade, so it's easy to get around and perfect for a short walk! In the silence, the chirping of Japanese warblers echoed pleasantly. The highly transparent water surface sparkles in the wind and is mysteriously beautiful. If you come to Manza, please take a walk. (Original) 遊歩道が整備されているので、回りやすく、ちょっとした散歩にぴったり！ 静寂の中、ウグイスの囀りが心地よく響いていました。 透明度が高い水面は風になびきキラキラと輝いて、神秘的に美しいです。 万座に来たら、散歩してみてください。

(Translated by Google) Coming down from Manza Onsen There is a beautiful pond on the left and a pier. Connected around Ushiike Pond (200m) I was able to take a walk around 🎵 Get out of the car right away While photographing the greenery and sky reflected in the pond.

Close a little early.

(Translated by Google) I unexpectedly visited this place because the road from Okushiga Highlands to Kusatsu Onsen was closed due to frequent volcanic seismic activity. There was a warning sign informing me that moon bears are also often seen near Manza Onsen. There is also an exhibit introducing the local flora and fauna, allowing you to get in touch with nature. There is a mountain that spews sulfur, and the river that flows nearby is also filled with the strong smell of sulfur. (Original) 奥志賀高原から草津温泉に抜ける道が火山性地震動の多発により通行止めとなり、期せずして訪問しました。 万座温泉近辺にも月の輪熊が出没するらしく、注意書きがありました。 近隣の動植物の紹介展示もあり、自然に触れられます。 硫黄の噴出する山があり、側を流れる川の匂いも硫黄臭が満載です。

(Translated by Google) August 30, 2025 The Manza Nature Information Center is a nature guide and exhibition facility showcasing the natural beauty of the Manza and Kusatsu regions of Joshin'etsu Kogen National Park. It's located at the entrance to Manza Onsen. It's a great place to stop by to gather information before a walk or to take a break after enjoying the hot springs. The facility is free, so feel free to use it. At the back of the parking lot is Manza Karabuki, a tourist spot where steam and hydrogen sulfide gas spew forth. (Original) 2025/8/30 万座しぜん情報館は、上信越高原国立公園の万座・草津地域の自然を紹介する自然案内・展示施設です。万座温泉の入り口にありました。 散策前の情報収集や温泉を楽しんだ後の休憩に、立ち寄るとよいかも。施設は無料ですのでお気軽に利用できます。 駐車場の奥には、万座空吹という蒸気と硫化水素ガスが噴き出す観光スポットがあります。

(Translated by Google) There were easy-to-understand exhibits about the natural environment of Manza, including its animals and geology. Apparently, there are a lot of Asiatic black bears in particular, and there were photos of them in the walkway in front of the toilets. With a large parking lot, toilets, and the Manza Air Spring, it was a great place to take a break. (Original) 万座の動物や地質など自然についてわかりやすく展示していました。特に、ツキノワグマが多く出没しているそうで、トイレ前の通路に、写真がありました。 広い駐車場とトイレ、万座空吹があり、休憩に良い場所でした。

This traditional performance originated from the practical need to cool Kusatsu’s extremely hot spring water, and has evolved into a cultural show performed three times each in the morning and afternoon. Tickets go on sale 30 minutes before each performance, and you can find discount coupons on their website to save some money on admission. The performance itself is quite fascinating and definitely worth experiencing once if you’re visiting Kusatsu. It’s an interesting glimpse into how practical necessity became cultural tradition, and makes for an enjoyable way to learn about the area’s hot spring heritage while being entertained.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Kusatsu Onsen(hot springs) ‘Yumomi to odori’ (traditional cooling water ceremony and dance). This was my first trip to Kusatsu and I genuinely had no idea what the Yumomi show involved; there were a lot of people lining up to see it, so we decided that it must be worth lining up for. First we lined up to purchase our tickets which were 700 yen per person. Then we joined a new line which was for the next show. It was a pleasant autumn day, with lots of young people lining up, so people watching kept us entertained. When the show started I learnt that the temperature of the hot spring water in Kusatsu is 50 degrees and a unique dance with wooden paddles had been created to cool the water down. We enjoyed the show which is added drawcard to an already popular hot spring town, it is a bit of fun, a bit of culture and a good money spinner for the town.

Fun experience to try out the traditional method on cooling the 50C onsen water. I had a lot of fun doing it, and the staff helped on taking videos and photos as well. That was very helpful, especially since I'm a solo traveler. Later the evening I watched the performance as well.

The entrance fee is 700 yen. There is a timetable. The whole performance is about a half hour long. Foreigners can’t really understand this simple performance, but it’s mainly about some methods to cool down the temperature in the old day, and also some history background’s introduction.

Great show! Come visit and watch. The show takes about 30 minutes so if you're there for a short period of time, at least try to catch a glimpse of the first 5-10 minutes to get the essence of it.

Make sure you buy the ticket for this show Its a short show but its really show how traditional way of cooling the onsen water Really interesting :)

If you visit the website, there is a 50 yen off coupon, which could be helpful for people ordering in larger groups. Discounts tend to add up! Its a good idea to check the show times available on your day beforehand as well. You can purchase tickets 30 minutes before each show time at the ticket window. People start lining up around then as well, and being toward the front of the line will give you better choice of your seat. We enjoyed the show, but it is entirely in Japanese, so reconsider if that will bother you. There was a dance at the beginning, then a long talking portion with some audience participation, and finally the two yumomi demonstrations with singing. It was interesting, but not something I would see more than once personally.

(Translated by Google) First Kazawa! Although located about 1 hour from Karuizawa It's a high altitude and I'm lucky on this day. Powder❗️ I was planning to take a preview of the exam barn. I had fun This is also a snow machine➕Although it is a natural mix Thanks to the low temperature, it is easy to eat the edges. The slope is steeper than I expected, and the slope is steeper than I expected. You can enjoy it without feeling it The facility is old There are days when tickets are cheaper on weekdays. From Karuizawa to Kita Karuizawa, no charge required I went there, but the snow on the road was partially There was no problem with driving to some extent. Personally, I would rather go from Yunomaru direction. It's easy to drive (Original) 初鹿沢！軽井沢から約1時間程の立地ながら 標高高く、この日はラッキーな事に パウダー❗️ 検定バーンの下見のつもりが 楽しんじゃいました こちらも降雪機➕天然ミックスながらも 気温低いおかげで、エッジ食いやすいです 急斜面は思ったより、斜度の急斜は 感じられなく楽しめます 施設は古いです 平日はチケット安くなるDAYあります 軽井沢から北軽井沢　有料は使わず 行きましたが、道の雪は部分的に ある程度で走行には問題ありませんでした 個人的には湯の丸方面から行くより 運転楽です

(Translated by Google) The snow was based on artificial snow, with natural snow piled up on top.In general, the burn was hard, but the edges worked well. It is a ski resort with a strong local flavor. It was a day off, but I was probably doing some kind of competition or just practicing, but I thought it would be great to be able to monopolize two of the few courses for almost an entire day with poles. I would like there to be at least one area where general customers are prohibited. (Original) 雪は人口雪がベースで上部に天然雪が積もってる感じでした　総じてバーンは硬いがちゃんとエッジはしっかり効きます ローカル色の強いスキー場です 休日でしたが、何かの大会をやっていたのと練習なのか、そうでなくても少ないコースを2コースもポールでほぼ一日独占するのはいただけないと思いました 一般客禁止エリアは、せめて１ヶ所にしてほしい

(Translated by Google) A highly recommended ski resort with super powder and a high rate of clear skies thanks to Mt. Asama. Although the lack of people is a cause for concern, it is a great blessing for players. Hell if you don't take measures to protect yourself from the cold Temperatures below -10℃ are common, and the lifts are slow, so if the wind blows, it's a disaster. It depends on the snow situation, but if you come from the Komoro area, the slope with a sharp curve of about 2 kg just before Yunomaru Ski Resort is so steep that you may not be able to climb it even with a statless ski. You have to pick up speed and climb all at once. If it stops, you're out. I can't wait until the snowplow comes. #LocalGuides (Original) 浅間山の恩恵で超パウダーと高い晴天率で、相当お薦めのスキー場 人が居なさすぎて心配になるレベルではあるが、プレイヤーにとっては非常にありがたい話 防寒対策を怠ると地獄 -10℃以下が当たり前にあり、リフトが遅いので、風が吹くと悲惨な目にあう 積雪状況にもよるが、小諸方面からくると、湯の丸スキー場手前2kgくらいの急カーブの坂がきつく、スタットレスでもスタークして登れない場合がある スピードを付けて一気に登らないとダメ。止まるとアウト。除雪車が来るまで待ちぼうけとなる #LocalGuides

(Translated by Google) This ski resort is located in Tsumagoi Village, Gunma Prefecture. We visited with our family. It's a little far from the highway, so access isn't that great, and it's small, so it was deserted even during the holidays. There are no parks or anything like that, so there are hardly any snowboarders. On the other hand, it's a very friendly ski resort for beginners. I would highly recommend it for families with children who don't have much experience. The beginner course is a fair distance away and is refreshing, so I think beginners will be satisfied. I imagined it would be quite gritty because of the high rate of sunny days, but thanks to the snow that fell the day before, we were able to get some powder snow on the day, which felt great. (Original) 群馬県嬬恋村にあるスキー場。家族で訪れました。高速からは少し離れた場所にありアクセスがイマイチな上、こじんまりとしているせいか連休中にも関わらずガラガラでした。またパークなどは一切ないのでスノーボーダーもほとんどいません。逆にいうと初心者向けにはとても優しいスキー場。経験の少ないお子様連れにはとてもお勧めできます。初級コースもそこそこ距離があって爽快感がありますので初心者には満足できるのではないかと。 晴天率が高いので結構ガリガリのイメージだったのですが、当日は前日に降った雪のおかげでパウダースノーにありつくことが出来て気持ちよかったです。

(Translated by Google) [Kazawa Snow Area🦌⛄]. The snow was hard, but it didn't go all the way to the ice burn, so it was slippery. 80% sunny weather ☀️ The weather is the best!! ️The scenery⛰️ is the best!! ️ It's nice that it's relatively empty 👍️. The intermediate and advanced course from the top is a slope for high-speed skiers (waiting in line...😅) 🏂️Almost none It's hard to slip but it doesn't matter 😆 The beginner's course is perfect for practicing (no risk of contact with people...there are no people)😁 When there are 🎿&🏂️ competitions and exams 🅿️🚗~ it gets very crowded! The course will also be closed 😱... 2024. The weather was not good for the season 😢⤵️⤵️ 🌏️The effects of global warming❕😲 It was ☔ (Misore) in January, and it was spring skiing in February.

(Translated by Google) I stopped by to see what it was like in September during the off-season. A large truck is parked on the approach road and is loading cabbage. A magnificent view of the cabbage fields can be seen from the parking lot and the center house. (Original) オフシーズンの9月、どんな感じかなとちょっと立ち寄り。 アプローチの道には大型トラックが停まってキャベツの積み込み中。 駐車場とセンターハウスからもキャベツ畑の雄大な景色が見渡せます。

It is a nice place to relax with lake view. Free parking available

The place is amazing you can walk and run and many parking area to rest😍

Great spot, right on the lake. Lots if things to see, info panels and statues. Free hot footbaths along the walk, great for tired feet after walking.

Beautiful, calm place, with lots of sporting areas close by. People jogging or just taking pictures. Fresh healthy air to breathe. Great food all around.

Lovely spot for walking, jogging, cycling around the lake. Beautiful place to do it with some limited free parking.

Beautiful and calm, a very nice place to relax.

a quiet place. great for relaxing

(Translated by Google) It looks very nicely maintained from the outside. (Original) 外から見た感じとてもキレイに整備されてる。

(Translated by Google) The putter golf course is beautiful, but the mallet golf course is not very well maintained, and no one seems to play it except during summer vacation. (Original) パターゴルフ場は綺麗ですが マレットゴルフ場はあまり整備されていませんでしたし、誰も夏休み以外は回って無い様です

(Translated by Google) It's well-managed and looks good for families. There is no shade, so take precautions and play a round. (Original) 小ぎれいに管理されてて、ファミリー利用が、良さそうですね 日陰がないので対策してラウンドを

(Translated by Google) The access road is poor, so be careful if you drive a low-height vehicle. In particular, it is better not to access from the north side, so it is better to access from near the Tatsuno athletic field. There is an observation deck just beyond the Japan Center marker, and the scenery is nice. You can overlook the surrounding mountains and cityscape. It's not that special, but I think it's an interesting place to talk about. (Original) アクセス路が悪いので、車高の低い車で行くのは要注意。特に北側からのアクセスはやめたほうが良いので、辰野運動場付近からアクセスしたほうが良い。 日本中心の標のすぐ先には展望台があって、景色が良い。 周囲の山や街並みを見渡すことができる。 特別感があるかと言えばそれほどでもないけど、話題としてはおもしろい場所だと思う。

(Translated by Google) As others have said, it's a gravel road, no, a rocky road. The road is made of stones about 5 to 10 centimeters thick, and has been eroded by rain, making it a spectacular off-road path. It's best to go on an off-road bike or Jimny. If you're coming from the Tatsuno direction, the road is paved partway, so it's a bit safer. If you're coming from the Okaya direction, be prepared. (Original) 他の方も言ってますが砂利道です、いや、岩道です。 5センチから10センチ位の石の道で、雨で削られ見事なオフロードとなっています。 オフロードバイクやジムニーで行くと良いでしょう。 辰野方面からなら、途中まで舗装されているため多少安心できます。 岡谷方面から登る方は覚悟して下さい。

(Translated by Google) The center of Japan includes the area from Hokkaido to Okinawa, and the other is Honshu, and there seems to be a similar place in Gifu Prefecture... I think it would be a good place to turn it into a tourist spot, but you have to drive down a dirt road to get there. This time, we drove about 7km from Weeping Chestnut Park on an unpaved road.It was tough because even an RV couldn't drive fast... There's nothing else other than a stone monument in the middle of the mountain and an observation deck nearby... I think if there was a shop or something like that, and if they made collaborative products, they would sell well. (Original) 日本の中心って北海道から沖縄までを含めたものと本州でというものとで、この場所と岐阜県内にも似たような場所があったような… もう少し観光地化させても良い場所だと思うのですが～ここに向かうには未舗装道路を走って行かなければなりません🚐 今回はしだれ栗公園から約７㎞の未舗装道路を走って向かいました😓RV車でもスピードが出せないので辛かったですよ… 山の中に石碑がポツンとあることと近くに展望台があるだけで他にも何もありません…売店などがあってコラボ商品でも作れば売れると思うのですが～

(Translated by Google) It's unclear whether Shikyoku is the center of the area, but it's simply a place that gives you a sense of accomplishment. It seems to be a little better from the other way around, but you have to drive over 5km on a pretty rough unpaved road, so it's best not to go unless you have a light 4WD. (Original) 四極をドコとしての中心なのか不明ですが、単に達成感だけの場所です。 逆からだと、もう少しマシらしいですが、かなりの未舗装悪路を5キロ以上走らなければならず、軽の四駆とかでなければ行かない方が無難です。

(Translated by Google) As everyone has said, you have to go up a gravel road. The road is narrow and tree branches can hang down on the road and damage your car, so I recommend going in a light truck or van or other vehicle that can be damaged. There is an observation deck and the view is amazing. You can spend a relaxing time here. (Original) 皆さん言われてるように砂利道を登らなければなりません　そして道路幅も狭く道路に木の枝垂れ下がり車を傷つける可能性があるので軽トラ軽バンなど傷ついても良い車で行く事をお勧めします 展望台があり景色は最高です のんびりとした時間を過ごせます

(Translated by Google) The roads along the way are rough, so you might hesitate to go in a normal car. There are a lot of bumblebees in the area, so it's a bit dangerous. (Original) 道中の道は荒れている為普通車では躊躇するレベル。現地はクマンバチが多数いてちと危険⚠️

(Translated by Google) I headed towards Tatsuno, which I thought was relatively paved, but gave up in the end. It's extremely dangerous to ride on an on-road motorcycle. The forest road is narrow, just over the width of one normal car. The paved road continues for a while (7-8km), but the road is littered with pine needles, tree branches, and stones, and there are sections where it's covered in moss. I struggled to get to a point where there were just under 2km left, but the road was completely unpaved. There was a slope, so I decided it was too dangerous to ride on an on-road motorcycle and turned back. It's difficult to pass even in a compact car, but I only passed one car near the forest road entrance, and there were no other cars after that, so there was no need to worry (I recommend going there with this in mind). (Original) 比較的舗装されている?という辰野側から向かったが、結果断念。 オンロードバイクでの走行は危険極まりない。 普通自動車1台分ちょっとの狭い林道。しばらくは舗装路が続く(7-8km)が、路面に松の葉や木の枝、石が散乱しているばかりか、苔が生えている区間もあり。 苦労して残り2km弱の地点まできたが、完全な未舗装路に。傾斜もあるのでオンロードバイクでは危険と判断して引き返した。 軽自動車でもスレ違いは困難だが、林道入口付近で1台すれ違っただけで、以降は車はいなかったので、心配はいらない?(予め覚悟の上で行くことをオススメします)

(Translated by Google) On my way to my destination, I was curious, so I stopped by. The clarity of the pond in front of the waterfall was incredible, and it was refreshing. The waterfall was also beautiful with the sunlight shining behind it. (Original) 目的地に向かう途中、気になったので寄ってみました。 滝向かう手前の池の透明度が半端なく、心洗われるようでした。 滝も、後ろから太陽の光があたり美しかったです。

(Translated by Google) A few years ago, during heavy rains, the bridge was damaged and the embankment collapsed, but now that it has recovered, I went to Tamadare. If you go up the slope from the parking lot, you will see a quiet waterfall. The refreshing waterfall will soothe you. (Original) 数年前の豪雨時には橋が損傷したり、堤防が崩れたりしていましたが、復帰したので、たまだれに行きました。駐車場から坂道を登ると、静かな滝が出てきます。爽やかな滝が癒されます。

(Translated by Google) Visited in the afternoon on the last day of the three-day weekend in September. There are no other tourists and the place is reserved. A 5 minute trek from the parking lot? There is Tamadare Falls just ahead. It's a good idea to wear waterproof trekking shoes, as river water flows into the road along the way. Even if you wear sneakers, you can get away with it as long as you are prepared to get a little wet. The waterfall itself is compact, but the lush moss makes it quite mysterious. You can get very close to it and soak in the cool spray of the waterfall. (Original) ９月の三連休最終日のお昼過ぎに訪問。他に観光客はおらず貸切状態。 駐車場から５分くらいトレッキング？をした先にたまだれの滝がある。途中の道に川の水が流れ込んでいるので防水のトレッキングシューズがあると良い。スニーカーでも多少濡れるのを覚悟すれば何とかなる。 滝自体はコンパクトだが、生い茂る苔がかなり神秘的。すぐそばまで近づくことができ、冷たい滝しぶきを存分に浴びることができる。

(Translated by Google) I visited on the last day of October 2018. Dry season? Perhaps, the waterfall doesn't have as much water as I imagined, so I don't think it's a waterfall where you can enjoy its force. However, the moss-covered rocks and waterfalls falling from the mountainside are a pleasant sight to see on your journey. I heard from information on the internet that it was affected by the typhoon. Has it been restored now? I remember that the waterfall was not far from the parking lot at that time. There were some areas that were not maintained, and I remember walking steadily over floating stones and mud. We recommend comfortable footwear. The parking lot was well maintained. You can enjoy beautiful scenery during the autumn leaves season. There is also a small but beautiful pond, and on days when there is little wind, you can take beautiful pictures. It's not a place you can enjoy for a long time as the main part of your trip, but I think you can take a break if you go nearby. I visited Atelier Fromage from the Tokai area while shopping. I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery on a short drive. (Original) ２０１８年１０月最終日に訪れました。 渇水期？なのか、滝は想像したほどの水量はなく勢いを楽しむ滝ではないように思います。しかし、苔むした岩や山肌から落ちる滝に旅の途中の風景として心地よさを感じますね。台風の影響を受けたとネット内の情報から見聞きします。現在は復旧されたのかな？ 当時滝までは駐車場からそれほど距離はなかった記憶がございます。整備されていない場所も有り浮いた石や泥濘に足取りをしっかり歩いた記憶があります。歩きやすい履物をお勧めします。駐車場は整備されておりました。 紅葉の時期には美しい景色を楽しめますよ。小さいけど綺麗な池もあり、風の少ない日には綺麗な写り込みも撮影できそうです。旅のメインとして長い時間楽しめる場所ではないですが、近くへ行かれた際には、一休み出来ると思います。私は東海方面からアトリエフロマージュへの買い物のついでに足を伸ばしました。ちょっとしたドライブで綺麗な景色を堪能できました。

(Translated by Google) On my way to Kazawa Onsen, I saw a signboard and stopped by. The road leading to the waterfall was very fantastic and wonderful. The waterfall itself isn't that big, but I think it's worth a visit! (Original) 鹿沢温泉へ向かう途中、看板を見つけ寄ってみました。 滝へ向かう道がとても幻想的で素敵でした。 滝自体はそれほど大きいものではありませんが、行ってみる価値はあると思いますよ！

(Translated by Google) A quaint waterfall with status wealth You can see it by walking a little from the parking lot. It can be muddy at the bottom, so please wear proper shoes. The autumn leaves in the parking lot were the most beautiful today lol (Original) 地位財けれど趣のある滝 駐車場から少し歩けば見ることができます。下はぬかるんでるところがあるのでちゃんとした靴でどうぞ。 駐車場の紅葉が今日一素敵だったw

(Translated by Google) On my way from Kita-Karuizawa towards Komoro, I saw a very prominent signboard that said ``Tamadare Falls'' and decided to stop by. As soon as you drive down from the side of the sign, there is a gravel parking lot. When you get off the car, you will see a small bridge. You can see a very small waterfall near the bridge. There was a lovely woman who was taking pictures on the bridge, so I asked her, ``Is this Tamadare Falls?'' She told me that the waterfall was about a 5-minute walk from here. We arrived shortly after climbing a straight road maintained with sawdust. It's not a big waterfall, but it feels nice and comfortable. After returning from the waterfall, I enjoyed talking with the woman again on the bridge, and I am grateful to this waterfall for giving me this once-in-a-lifetime joy. (Original) 北軽井沢から小諸方面へと抜ける途上、ワリと目立つ「たまだれの滝」との看板が目に入りフラリと寄ってみました。看板横から車で下るとすぐに砂利の駐車場が整備されています。車を降りると小さな橋。橋の近くにとても小さな滝が目に入ります。ちょうど橋の上で写生されていた素敵な女性がいらしたので「これがたまだれの滝ですか？」と尋ねてみると、滝はここから徒歩５分程だそう。おが屑で整備された一本道を登るとすぐに到着しました。決して大きな滝ではないですが何かしら良い感じで心地イイです。滝から戻り、再び橋の上で女性と会話を楽しみましたが、一期一会の歓びを与えてくれた事にこそ、この滝に感謝です。
