Kusatsu Onsen: Best Ryokan/Hotel for a Group of 5 (Graduation Trip)?
Hey everyone, A group of 5 of us university students are planning our graduation trip to Japan, and we're super excited to experience a traditional onsen! We've set our sights on Kusatsu Onsen and are looking for a hotel or ryokan where all 5 of us can comfortably stay in one room. Any recommendations for places that are good for groups and offer a great onsen experience? We'd love to find somewhere we can all relax and make some fun memories. Thanks!

- For a graduation trip with a group of 5, especially if you're looking for great value (or what we call "cos-pa" – cost performance – in Japan!), you really can't go wrong with Itoen Hotel Kusatsu.
They have spacious rooms that can actually fit up to 8 people, so your group of 5 will have plenty of space to hang out.
The real highlight for many groups, especially students, is the dining:
Dinner: It's an all-you-can-eat buffet with a huge variety of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes. Plus, it includes unlimited soft drinks AND an all-you-can-drink alcohol menu (beer, sake, shochu, wine, etc.) – perfect for celebrating your graduation!
Breakfast: Also a generous buffet with both Japanese and Western options, including fruits and fresh juices to start your day right.
Now for the onsen – which is what Kusatsu is famous for!
They have fantastic large public baths with gensen kakenagashi (100% pure, free-flowing hot spring water directly from the source).
These public baths also feature an outdoor bath (rotenburo), a sauna, and a cold water bath (mizuburo) to cool down.
A huge plus for groups, especially if some members are new to onsen culture:
They offer free private reservable baths (kashikiri buro)! This is a fantastic option if anyone in your group feels a bit hesitant about the communal bathing culture (being nude with strangers). You can enjoy the onsen experience just with your friends.
And for more group fun:
The hotel offers free table tennis.
There are also karaoke rooms you can use for free (usually for one hour per group). These are super popular, so if you want to belt out some tunes, make sure to book your karaoke slot as soon as you check in!Shinryuken's answer (Posted on:2024/2/13)

It is a very cost-effective hotel.
- The abundant hot spring water flows directly into the baths, making this a perfect hot spring for those who are particular about the quality of the spring. Everything is provided, including alcohol and food. I think everyone from adults to children can have a great time! It's a very reasonable hotel, so even students can feel free to stay without worrying about the price.たなかさん's answer (Posted on:2024/2/19)

Recommended Kusatsu Onsen hotels with rooms that can accommodate a large number of people
- This is an inn with rooms that can accommodate a larger number of people. There are rooms that can accommodate 7 to 9 people, so there is plenty of room for 5 people. Since it is part of the Itoen group, the accommodation fee is also reasonable. The food is also Buffet, with all-you-can-eat crab and other dishes, so it is great value for money.たすく's answer (Posted on:2024/2/13)
