Netsunoyu stands out with its unique "yumomi" performance, a traditional method where women in yukata stir the hot water with large wooden paddles to cool it down, accompanied by folk songs. This ritual, a blend of practicality and cultural heritage, not only adjusts the temperature but also enhances the overall experience, making it a must-see for visitors.
The bathhouse itself is a blend of rustic charm and modern amenities, offering a serene and immersive atmosphere. The surrounding area, dotted with quaint shops and eateries, adds to the charm, providing a complete retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Whether you are seeking relaxation, cultural immersion, or the healing properties of its waters, Kusatsu Onsen Netsunoyu promises an unforgettable experience, steeped in tradition and natural beauty.
