Kusatsu Onsen Hotel Sakurai
10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Sakurai. We booked the top floor suites, which came with several extra benefits.
The room was very large and well laid out, with a kitchen, a bathroom with a jacuzzi and stunning view, two bedrooms, and a living area. We were taken straight to our room by a concierge when we checked in, which was a nice touch. The view was excellent — you could see the town centre from the room.
We also had access to the Sakura Lounge, where food and drinks were included, and a more private onsen that was limited to a small number of guests.
The hotel prepared a special dinner for special guests in a separate restaurant, using best quality ingredients. The food and service were both excellent.
One thing to note is that the hotel is very large, so there are no private hot spring baths. This wasn’t an issue for us, but worth mentioning. The main onsen facilities are very good, especially the outdoor baths, which we would highly recommend.
Thank you again for the staff at Sakurai."
"This was by far my greatest stay so far in japan. Amazing food, amazing building, amazing onsen!
But westerners be wary, you will need to sacrifice some of your typical understanding of amenitys, theres no showers in the rooms, and very little english is spoken in this whole town.
That being said i cant rate it less than 5 stars! If you come to this hotel, be prepared to eat (amazing) foods you never thought youd try, and immerse youself in the japanese culture. If you do not want to immerse yourself, this may not be the place for you."
"Clean rooms and great service. Some staff know some English and if they dont they will try their best to help you.
Food was excellent! Be sure to get their breakfast and dinner! The onsen was relaxing. "
