too steep to reach the guesthouse (we carried big luggage by own legs)

comfy futons, nice staff

Stayed in May 2025

Cute guesthouse. The Japanese style room was comfortable. The bathrooms were modern and clean. It was up a small hill but close to the town and everything. Good value.

We were reminded to be quiet a whole lot. Understood it wasn't a party hostel at all, nor was that what was expected, but we weren't really being loud in the first place. Seems like maybe larger groups of foreigners have given trouble before though.

Staff was friendly even when we made a booking mistake and had more people than anticipated. Futons were very comfortable and it's nice hostel vibes. Owner/staffer made us tea with some friends.

Individual bunk beds did not have privacy curtains, so got disturbed when other people turned on lights.

Great location and fantastically friendly staff. Very helpful to recommend restaurant and onsen and sight-seeing in town.

Owner was very welcoming and very friendly! Great value room for the money we spent as a group of 4, good location, place had a cool style and nice vibe, and had a kosatsu table

Stayed in February 2025

There was no toothbrush or towels, and the shower room lacked a lock, making it inconvenient for females.

The staff is very friendly.

No luggage storage before checking in

Cleanliness, Value and location

Stayed in January 2025

There are no amenities, so you have to bring your own towels, toothbrushes, etc. It would have been good if they had made this clear beforehand, but it wasn't a huge issue as you can buy them at nearby convenience stores.

I liked the staff - the manager/owner was very friendly and welcoming. The futon was also very comfortable and I slept very well.

Stayed in January 2025

No options of towels (or have any available for sale)

Knowledgeable inn keeper with good recommendations.

Stayed in January 2025

I wish there were curtains or something separating each bed as there was no privacy in the dormitory

The staff were very welcoming and the bed was comfortable

It’s a bit uphill to reach the location.

Super friendly host, the location is within 5 mins walking distance to Yubatake, facility is complete and comfortable.

I booked the hostel very last minute, so it was my fault not having checked the details properly, but you cannot leave your luggage at the hostel beforehand. I didn't know that, so I went all the way to the hostel up the hill with all my heavy luggage just to turn back to the station to leave my bags in the locker, and then having to pick it up and bring it again to the hostel once the check in started. Also, the bunker beds have no curtains or anything to give a little bit of privacy or protection from the light. I have zero problems with mixed dorms, but not having a curtain in this case was a bit bothersome. I'm not a super picky person so none of those things were major issues, but it's something to consider while booking it.

The place was clean and well kept, the beds were comfortable, and the staff was super helpful and had great tips of where to go and what to eat. For an overnight stay, it was good, especially for the price paid. Thank you!

it's not really something that I didn't like or a bad thing but more of something that would help to know. The staff tells you right away so expectations were set that there's no ammenities like towels, disposable toothbrush, etc but there are hairdryers, showers, soaps, shampoos and conditioner available. also you will need to put the covers on your bedding which I kinda liked since it was a cute experience. Overall it was a fantastic stay.

it was nice and comfy. we booked the quad room but ended up getting the whole room to ourselves! the kotatsu was really nice and the staff was all friendly. they gave some great recommendations on where to eat and which onsens to check out.They're very nice and would chat with you if you stay at the lobby. it's located close to some of the main attractions but distanced enough that it's quite peaceful and away from the crowds. Although we didn't bring much luggage there was still ample storage space in our room. There's also lockers there but no locks (I'm not sure if the front desk would lend any since we didn't bother asking as we had the room to ourselves). We quite liked our stay there so we might book it again when we go back to Kusatsu!

Stayed in October 2024

Not much I can think of.

Very friendly staff with good tips around the facilities in kusatsu. Comfortable stay which was a short 5 minutes away from the main area. Nice authentic Japanese guesthouse stay with tatami mat room, futons and such. Great value as well.

Very helpful and kind staff, gave great recommendations for local Onsens. Room was very nice, had the feel of a Ryokan without the steep price.

Stayed in August 2024

Great shower/bath room decorated with real stone. Try it at least once between all the onsens!
