Kusatsu Onsen A very famous hot spring area in Gunma prefecture

Japanese people love hot spring.

Being a country with lots of volcano, there are places in Japan famous for hot spring and Kusatsu Onsen in Gunma prefecture is one of them.

In the middle of the area, they have a large hot spring which is the source of the onsen (hot spring) in the area.

It has a strong sulfuric smell, but the view of the source is worth going.



Right next to this source is a small public (and free) onsen, where you bathe only your foot like foot spa.

Though you may think its only a bit of your body in the onsen, within couple of minutes, you can feel that your body getting hot from the onsen, even during the winter time.

There are ski resorts near by and many public onsen within the area, so if you like skiing, winter may be a good time of the season to go!!
