Yubatake, Kusatsu-machi

Absolutely amazing. Sure, it's touristy and rather crowded during peak season and hours but you should still go. The smell of the air, the black lights at night, the wonderful food and welcoming people all make for a great time. DON'T take the main roads to get around (unless you're shopping) because there are some pretty cool hidden gems in the little narrow pathways. Truly a must-stop place while in Gunma!

impressed by the size of the hot spring. love the idea of being able to dip your feet on the side. I came in the winter and it's very lively. the smell of sulfur just makes this place so unique. I'm glad I made thjs trip here and would recommend anyone coming here to see it and go to the public bathhouse to bathe in the hot springs.

Really interesting area. We parked by the train station and walked over. I don’t see any parking nearby but the walk is easy and stroller friendly. This area has lots of souvenir shops as well as restaurants and street food. You can shop and eat to your hearts content! The area does have that unique sulphuric rotten egg smell but that lends more charm to the experience. Bring a little towel so you can soak your feet in the nearby foot baths.

One of the most cute towns si have seen. Visited in Feb 26, snow tires is required for sure. Gets dark soon and visibility is not good so do not recommend to drive too late if you go alone like me.

Really lovely place with a nice atmosphere, lots of amenities and souvenir shops. Definitely worth a visit to try the onsens here. It gets cold in winter here so bring a warm coat! Also I suggest bringing easy to take off shoes and a small towel as there are loads of foot baths here.
