The men's large bath "Shirane" is filled with a mixture of hot springs from Bandaiko mine and Nishinokawahara springs. It is about 30 meters long. You will be overwhelmed by its size.

Hotel Sakurai is a large hotel packed with all the fun of Kusatsu.
The hot spring relaxation is particularly dynamic. In the large bath, the largest in Kusatsu, measuring approximately 30 meters in length, you can enjoy 100% free-flowing water from the "mixture of Nishinokawara spring and Bandaiko spring sources" without adding any water. You can bathe all night long.
The open-air bath is 100% free-flowing with water from the rare "Wata no Yu" hot spring, which is not even connected to the Yubatake area. The water is white and soft like cotton, which is very popular. There is also a separate bath available, limited to 20 groups per day.

Dinner is a multi-course meal or a Japanese, Western, and Chinese buffet. The multi-course meal is a delicious feast of seasonal food with an emphasis on freshness. You can enjoy local mountain produce, such as Joshu beef and Gunma Prefecture's brand of rainbow trout, "Masutaro," as well as seafood delivered directly from nearby waters.

The highly acclaimed buffet is impeccable in both quality and quantity, with an all-you-can-eat menu that's so extensive you'll have a hard time choosing, including freshly fried tempura from the open kitchen, freshly made sushi, roast beef, pizza, highland vegetables, and a dessert buffet.
For breakfast, they serve a healthy breakfast for the health-conscious. Starting your day off right with a rich buffet that includes French toast, a variety of side dishes that go well with porridge, the chef's special curry, and Joshu beef bowls.
