    This guest house had a good location not far from the city center and also near the local supermarkets. It was very clean and well maintained. A very clean kitchen to use if you wished.

    I had a wonderful experience. The hostel is conveniently located not far from the bus terminal. The owner was incredibly generous, offering me a ride to Yubatake after check-in and suggesting some excellent onsens to visit. I enjoyed my stay here...

    We are coming here on long weekend, all hotels around kusatsu are fully booked. But we can get a room in Kotodama, not a dormitory but Japanese tatami room for 2 people. It was nice, we slept on futon, just feels like you stay at your japanese...

    Staff gave a super helpful and fast explanation of all the popular places to go in Kusatsu. It's in a prime location, less than 10 mins walk from Yubatake where all the food and souvenir shops are located. The beds were comfortable and clean.
