Experience of the stay
I used the facility at the end of the year. First of all, the building is old, but as many places in Kusatsu Onsen are old, it didn't bother me too much. However, I think improvements are needed for the door of the hot spring, which was hard to open, and the broken washlet that was left as it is.
The open-air bath was newly renovated and beautiful. The quality of the spring was exceptional, and I ended up soaking for a long time.
The meals were more abundant than I expected, and I enjoyed the food; however, it was confusing when it took more than 30 minutes for the sashimi to arrive, or when dessert was served while I was still eating my meal.
I was also surprised to be told that dinner would start from 20:30. It seems that the dinner time is decided by the order of check-in, but I wished I had received that information earlier.
The next day, when I tried to leave my luggage, the front desk said they could only hold it for the morning. I was surprised because I had never heard such a thing before.
I made a reservation with this number of coins because it was the end of the year, but I thought it might be too expensive under normal circumstances.
Basically, the staff was kind, but the inn left many mysteries.
Experiences during the trip
I visited the Kusatsu Onsen Ski Resort. The snowfall was abundant, and the conditions were excellent. All shops accept cashless payments, so carrying a wallet is unnecessary. Also, there were many foreign tourists, which made me wonder how everyone got there.
