5 Ryokan in Kusatsu Onsen with In-Room Open-Air Baths for Couples to Enjoy Natural Spring Water

"onsen trip with my boyfriend ♡ I'd rather have a room with an open-air bath than a regular room." If you think like this, be sure to check the hot water in the open-air bath when making your reservation! We tend to think that open-air baths = onsen, but sometimes the baths in your room are actually hot water. If you're staying overnight, you'll want to enjoy onsen unique to the area even in your room.

Therefore, this time, we have selected accommodations with ``rooms with open-air baths fed by natural onsen'' located in Kusatsu Onsen, one of Japan's top three hot springs. Since the water is drawn from Kusatsu's fresh spring water, which has an abundant amount of hot water, you can expect it to have antibacterial and skin-beautifying effects. Please take a bath in the open-air bath with water flowing directly from the source and spend a luxurious and soothing time just for the two of you♡
