Top Sarugakyo Onsen Hotel Reviews

La Vista Kusatsu Hills

8/10 Good

"The hotel is very nice. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was nice and are quite big and well laid out. The views are ok, not extraordinary. Our room was on the 3rd floor and we still could not see any mountains but only roof tops of other surrounding buildings. There is free food and snacks available but only for a limited time. The dinner and breakfast was good but not great. The onsens are the highlight of this property."

Urakusatsu Tou

10/10 Excellent

"The location is excellent, minutes walk to restaurants, shopping, Yubatake and Sainokawara Park. The room was spotless and the staff was so helpful. The on-site onsen (female side) was boiling hot! The only minor inconvenience was that cars were parked offsite so you needed to coordinate with staff each time you needed your vehicle."

Kanemidori

10/10 Excellent

"The staff and onset are the two highlights for this lovely hotel. Open air onsen is the best!! Would love to come back."

Yukemurinoyado Yukinohana

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely Japanese style accomodation. Refreshing to see that shoes are off limits at the property and they provide good lockers for the shoes. Private baths and onsens are available for a soak after a day out to explore. Breakfast is good too though the timings of breakfast are a tad early but best way to start the day ! :)"

KAMENOI HOTEL KUSATSU YUBATAKE

8/10 Good

"Rooms are plain but clean. Excellent buffet food value. Nice common facilities."

Kusatsu Onsen Hotel Sakurai

8/10 Good

"The property was nice and modern. All amenities were in working order. Location is further from center of town. The town is also deserted, almost. Nothing really around. Onsen water is nice as well as the low temperature sauna."

"Great venue and facilities."

Livemax Resort Echigo Yuzawa

10/10 Excellent

"Position is convenient for train and restaurants. Onsen area was fabulous alternating temperature between the 2 pools each day. All the personal care items you need. Microwave on each floor is handy. There was at least 1 english speaking staff on front counter at all times. Dinner a little expensive but food was nice."
