1. Kusatsu Hot Spring (草津温泉)

 

Kusastu hot spring is one of the most famous hot spring in Japan. It is located in Azuma-gun, Kusastu cho.

 

Some Ryokan (Japanese Inn) and hot spring offer Yumomi show and trial. Yumomi (湯もみ) literally means touching hot water.

It is done by several people by using long flat boards to reduce and control temperature of hot spring.

Instead of adding water, people used to do Yumomi so that it doesn’t change quality of hot spring.

2. Takaragawa Hot spring (宝川温泉)

 

This is another popular hot spring. It was chosen for one of the “popular hot spring for foreigners.”

Located in Minakami cho (みなかみ町), this hot spring became famous after shooting film called “Thermae Romae.”

 

This famous Ryokan Osenkaku (汪泉閣) offers 4 huge open-air hot spring.

Only one of them is for women.

Other three are for women and men (混浴:Konyoku) so you need to cover yourself with a towel.

 

They also have indoor hot spring if you don’t want to encounter opposite sex.

However, open-air ones provide a spectacular view and you don’t want to miss them!!!
