Road-day snapshot
Kusatsu is one of the longest transfers in the catalogue. Winter road conditions and traffic may change the stop order or time in each town.
The experience
A private journey, thoughtfully paced
Experience two of Gunma’s best-known hot-spring towns with a private driver-guide. See the dramatic centre of Kusatsu, learn why the water is stirred and cooled, then walk Ikaho’s atmospheric stone steps.
A foot bath is included; a full public bath can be added at your own cost when time and tattoo policies allow.
Choose with confidence
Is this the right journey for your group?
Excellent fit if
- Travellers curious about Japanese onsen culture
- Couples and small groups who enjoy mountain towns
- Guests happy with a long scenic road day
Consider another option if
- You expect a private full onsen bath to be included
- You want a short transfer from Tokyo
Said plainly
A foot bath is straightforward; a full public bath depends on time, availability and each facility’s tattoo and access policy.
