| Hiking Trail |
|
Another representative of Kusatsu is Mt. Shirane. The graceful moutain, listed in "List of the 100 famous mountains in Japan" of Hukada Kyuya, has a lot of attractive hiking trails around the area.
Enjoy the lovely flowers, let the fresh air circulate in your body and soak in onsen after a confortable walk.
This is the Kusatsu's way of enjoying hiking!
Availability period : June - October
(* Those are closed in the winter months.)
