JAPAN'S #1 hot spring town: Kusatsu Onsen (Gunma Ep 2)

Kusatsu has been voted the #1 onsen town in Japan for almost 20 years in a row by Japan’s major travel agents. The town is known for the high-quality sulfuric hot springs, which are believed to have therapeutic properties, promoting healing and relaxation. Most importantly, its onsen culture has been preserved through the generations, providing visitors with a unique opportunity to experience traditional Japanese bath rituals and customs. On this trip, in addition to experiencing the onsens, we enjoy one of the world's most sophisticated meals: the kaiseki dinner. It's a 9-course meal with aesthetically beautiful and delicious dishes. A must-do for anyone visiting Japan. In essence, Kusatsu Onsen combines natural beauty, cultural richness, and a therapeutic atmosphere, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking an authentic and rejuvenating experience in Japan.
