The hotel is not close to Kusatsu town centre however hotel provide free shuttle to move around. With the help of GPS, it is not difficulty to be found for driving traveling. What we booked is a Japanese Western Room, the size can actually cater for 4 persons. One of the reason we booked for this hotel is their buffet dinner. However their main theme had been changed from king crab to toro sashimi, which is definitely not the real high grade expensive toro you expected. If I was told in advance, I would prefer to select to have dinner outside as choice is many in the town centre. Breakfast is ok with sufficient choice. Onsen is not bad with not too many people.
we had a perfect two-night stay at the Kusatsu Now Resort. First the staff has the best service I have ever experienced even though there was a language barrier. but the staff went beyond everything to keep us happy. Secondly the town of Kusatsu is really beautiful and compact so absolutely worth of visit!
