Kusatsu Onsen is one of the three best hot springs in Japan.
With 4,000 liters of hot spring water gushing out every minute, Yubatake is a sightseeing spot that is arguably the highlight of Kusatsu Onsen. It is lit up at night, creating a more fantastic atmosphere. The Shogun's pumped-up hot water frame, which is said to have been used by the 8th Shogun Yoshimune of the Tokugawa family, a historical figure, who favored Kusatsu Onsen and had it carried to Edo (Tokyo), still remains. You can also buy hot-spring flowers from the yugi and take them home with you. Another specialty of Kusatsu is yumomi, or hot spring massage. It is performed at Atsunoyu, so be sure to see it when you visit Kusatsu.

The expression is different by day and by night.
