We stayed 1 night at Kusatsu Onsen hotel village. It's indeed a resort which offers many activities (table tennis, bowling, game arcade etc.) and a separate spa center with swimming pool and sauna. We didn't bother to step out the hotel until we had to leave Kusatsu.
The dinner and breakfast buffet were delicious too.
There is shampoo and bathing tools for babies in the ladies bath. I believe it's suitable for family with young children.
The hotel is a bit of a drive from Karuizawa JR Station, about 35 minutes, and there's a toll fee. However, the scenery along the way is beautiful. Shiraito Falls is about 10 minutes away. The hotel parking lot is ample and very convenient.
The hotel rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The hot springs are both indoor and outdoor, with an orange-brown color and a mild odor. Unfortunately, the outdoor hot springs don't allow for a view of the sky.
The breakfast and dinner buffets offer a wide variety of options and are delicious.
This hotel has a very resort-like feel and I'd definitely return if I had the chance.

After our stay at Nikko, Spax felt underwhelming.
Truth be told, it is more due the location of kusatsu which is an onsen town. Spax was more a place to rest for the night and not much can be expected from it.
The photos look way better than actual. Could be the hotel is in the process of renovation. Our room just happened to have more tape patching things up. Actually i don't think i have stayed in a hotel with tape holding things together.
That said, the staff makes up for the lacking by their gentle manners, serving of tea and coffee at the lobby.
Driving is more convenient, as there are many famous local delicacies nearby, but be aware of their opening hours. The Ikaho Onsen stone steps, with over a hundred steps, require courage and stamina to climb and return to the starting point. You'll understand what it means to go through hell and back again; once you complete it, you've unlocked a life achievement!
Stayed here for 2 nights. Breakfast was good, but what was really great was the dinner. There are big strawberries. There was unlimited sweetness to eat. It was really great. On the first day of our stay, there was no snow at all. But on the second day, after traveling to the ski resort, when we returned to the hotel, we found snow in front of the hotel and inside the hotel, maybe 1 foot high. Very beautiful, impressive. The first day of showering was outdoors and the atmosphere was very refreshing. Think about soaking in warm mineral water in an atmosphere of 0 degrees. On the second day, you can take an indoor shower because the weather is minus 3 degrees, so it's better to take a shower indoors. The staff took very good care of us, like close relatives. Ask anything, I can answer it all. Recommend only good things The waiters were very attentive. In conclusion, I got a full score for this trip.
An old hot spring hotel, with a large room and a nice view outside the window. We booked a Japanese style room (few domestic guests). The hot spring is very comfortable, one night stay and two meals, buffet style, good service, and they greeted everyone they met. There were performances at night, just like a resort hotel. The hotel has a shuttle bus to the station, which is not suitable for our time. It only takes 5 or 6 minutes to walk. It is also very close to Yubatake, about 7 or 8 minutes to walk, and Nishikawahara Park is also on the way. You can walk around. Not bad, not bad.
Although it is a little far from Yubatake, there are minibuses that shuttle back and forth every 15 minutes. The food is very good, which is a bit unexpected. The hygiene is very good, and the hot springs are both indoors and outdoors, which is a very good experience. The environment is very good. It is very close to Tenguyama Ski Resort. In addition, there are free drinks in the lobby. The hotel's English service is also no problem. I should come here again next time I come to take a hot spring bath.
I liked the hot springs and the view overlooking the river from my room, so it was my second stay. There are two large communal baths, 1 floor and 2 floor, so you can enter slowly without getting crowded.
The room was large in a Japanese-style room with a bed and comfortable with a bath and toilet. However, I was worried that the flow of the toilet was weak.
Overall, I think the breakfast is delicious and this price is cheap.
It is a recommended inn for relay accommodation because it is close to Tomioka silk mill and Karuizawa is also close by 20 minutes by car.
The facities is a little old but our room is newly renovated and the view from our room is stunning
The skii area is beautiful and we loved the skii activites however the dinner and the breakfast was disappointing the food quality wasn’t up to standard it was cold and not tasty
Because it is an old historic building, there may be some concerns about security, but there is no dissatisfaction with the service, etc.
It was a room that was too large to stay alone.
There was also a large bath and the open-air bath was the best.
Convenience stores are a little far away about 10 minutes walk, so you need to be a little careful.
Very Good

AAlc101Absolutely beautiful location and multiple hot spring options! The buffet breakfast was exquisite as well ask the multi-course dinner. Sadly we only were able to stay one night but waking up in morning to see beautiful flurries of snow surrounded by mountains was much more magical and memorable than I imagined! During our stay, I even lost my camera and the staff were so kind to go down the mountain and mail it to me at the airport, speak Japanese to the staff at the airport to help me find it and I am forever grateful for their kindness and service. If I lost my camera I would’ve lost all my photos and videos of the trip! The staff speak Chinese and fluent English and so it was really easy to communicate with them. Will definitely come back!! Thank you Shima Tamura!

GGuest UserWe stayed for one night in late November. It was a shame that the autumn leaves were at their final stage. The tofu kaiseki cuisine was delicious, tasty, and colorful. Many of the surrounding hotels and inns have closed, so the scenery feels lonely. I recommend this place for those who want to enjoy both the baths and the food.
