Gunma-ken Agatsuma-gun Kusatsu-machi - Kusatsu Onsen
Kusatsu Onsen is a famous onsen area. The main attraction is the Yubatake in the middle of the town, which is being used to harvest and distribute the hot spring water (as hot as 94.5C) to all the ryokan/hotel in the area.
Some of the photos are not very clear due to heavy raining during the day of photo shooting plus the resulting steam from the Yubatake.
The nearest train station is Naganohara-Kusatsuguchi station of JR Agatsuma Line.
