Kusatsu onsen from Tokyo

Kusatsu Onsen is located in the Gunma Prefecture just north of Tokyo and is one of the three most popular Onsen hot spring and ski resort town in Japan.

The hot water here, aside from being very hot, is high in sulfur, meaning it has a very egg-y smell. Kusatsu Onsen has become a favorite holiday or weekend retreat for visitors to escape the busy life.

There are many natural hot springs and hotels and restaurants in the area. Many tourists come to there to see the Yumomi show at Netsuno-yu from Tokyo.

What is YuMomi?
The temperature of the hot spring is about 51℃ to 95℃. So you can not take a bath. However, if water is added in order to lower the temperature, the advantageous effect of the hot spring become weaker. So"YuMomi" was invented.They put a plate into a hot spring and shake up it for bathers to lower the temperature so that they can take a bath.
