Green thumbs will love strolling around the perfectly landscaped grounds of Mizunomori Water Botanical Garden. Admire the wide array of plants, see if you can spot some birds or simply relax under the trees.

Mizunomori Water Botanical Garden is a great place to begin exploring Kusatsu. This showcase of plants comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Allow some time for other sights like Mount Hiei, Enryakuji Temple, and Ogoto Onsen to fully appreciate what's on offer in the area.
