Kusatsu Onsen
Kusatsu Onsen, in Gunma Prefecture, is the most popular onsen in Japan, attracting over 3 million visitors a year. Kusatsu has the highest flowing volume of hot water in Japan and is home to 18 public baths, with each one said to have a different therapeutic effect. The healing properties can be attributed to the fact that the water here has the highest measure of acidity in Japan, giving it an advantage in killing almost all bacteria. Locals claims that the antibacterial powers of the waters are able to cure any illness in any bather, except for those that are lovesick! Perhaps the most popular attraction in Kusatsu is the Yubatake, or hot water field. This is the town’s main hot water source, with thousands of liters being pumped every minute, and distributed to the bathhouses and ryokans (Japanese inns) in the town. The other popular year-round attraction is the Netsunoyu bathhouse right next to the Yubatake, where visitors can see demonstrations of the ‘yumomi’ tradition, involving local women, stirring the hot water with wooden boards to help cool it down, all performed as a traditional dance.
