After a fun filled day of skiing and sledding, why not take a dip in the refreshing hot springs the Kusatsu Onsen has to offer?
The invigorating water of the Kusatsu Onsen is full of minerals that a sure to heal your body and leave you feeling refreshed after a long day.
There are secret Japanese hot-spring-inns and hotels, where day trip tourists can also use the hot springs without staying overnight.
The Hot spring water of the Kusatsu Onsen is said to be effective for nerve pain, muscle, and joint pain, as well as frozen shoulders, motor paralysis, stiff joints, bruises, sprains, chronic digestive problems, hemorrhoids, excessive sensitivity to coldness, chronic skin problems, hardening of arteries, cuts, burns, physically weak children, chronic female reproductive complications, diabetes, high blood pressure, and the list goes on.
In Kusatsu Onsen, the hot water is not cooled down by adding cold water either. To lower the temperature, the onsen works use a method called "Yumomi" which involves churning the hot water using a long wooden board, that in turn cools the water without diluting it. This preserves all of the rich minerals that heal the body. You can actually use the stick yourself to experience this culture of ‘Yumomi’ as well.
To see Yumomi in action, take a look at 1:36 in the video to get a better understanding of how this accomplished.
There are many restaurants in Kusatsu Onsen area where they serve truly delicious dishes.
Our recommendations are Ramen, Large size Buckwheat Soba noodles, and barbecued beef.
Kusatsu Ramen is introduced at 1:58 in the video. A flavorful bowl of Ramen will be just what you need to warm up in this winter wonderland.
