Ryumeikan

Sawado Onsen is known as Kusatsu's healing hot spring. After enjoying a day trip to Kusatsu Onsen, we stayed at Ryumeikan. The exterior gives the feeling of returning to the countryside. It is a homely and cozy inn, the landlady is friendly and the staff are cheerful as well. The dinner portion was particularly generous. If you underestimate it, your stomach will definitely die of rage. It seems that my stomach was happy to be able to eat so much delicious food. The most difficult thing was the bath. It was so hot that I had a hard time getting in. I think the key to success is to pour lots of water over yourself. Sawado Onsen is known as a famous hot spring. There was hot water and my skin felt smooth afterwards. The water is so hot that it might be better for your body to use it in the cold season.

The hot springs are hot, but the quality is good, and you can take a bath almost anytime during your stay. As for the facilities in the room, there was a large gas heater and air purifier, both of which were very powerful. The room was also cleaned properly. Meals are in a small cafeteria-like space, so it doesn't feel like you can relax. There's no menu and it doesn't feel luxurious, but I think it's delicious. We recommend purchasing souvenirs at Nakaya Manju, which is located a little up the hill. Kibi Daifuku is rare and delicious. The hot spring buns are also delicious. Please note that we do not recommend using the public bath next door where you can borrow free bills at the inn. It's because the receptionist's attitude towards reception is so bad. They seem to be mistaking public baths for their own baths. I got yelled at when I lined up ahead of time. If you stay at Ryumeikan Yamaruhon Ryokan next door or take a day trip to the baths, the quality of the springs will be the same and you will be able to relax. Best of all, there is no danger of running into this old woman, and there is no need to worry about the locals and shrink down to take a bath.
