Kusatsu is recognized along with Gero and Arima as one of Japan's three most famous hot spring resorts.
An abundant quality of hot water with a strong acidity of pH2.1, that gives the water strong anti-bacterial powers with superior therapeutic and spiritual qualities, has attracted many people for hundreds of years.
Yubatake is the symbol of Kusatsu Hot Spring.
Located in the center of the spa resort, Yubatake is the source of hot springs that gush as much as 4,000 liters of hot water per minute among clouds of rising steam.
This so-called "hot water field" is surrounded by a promenade made of ceramic roof tiles and a bench in the shape of Mt. Shirane, a nearby volcano. Here, visitors can stroll after taking a bath and relax while enjoying the exotic atmosphere of this unique resort.

At this traditional bathhouse, visitors can see demonstrations of yumomi and traditional dance done to a local folk song.
A few members of the audience will be selected to try yumomi and will receive a certificate and complimentary gift.
In the evening, traditional "rakugo" comic storytelling performances are given here.
