Hostels in Shimominochi District

"So glad that heard about this place! Right next to the bullet train. It was perfect for going to Arai every day! Be sure to book the free shuttle in advance to get to the mountain (ski resort). Fantastic breakfast! They even hook you up with pajamas! Too bad I don’t bother with those.😛 It was appreciated nonetheless."

"awesome"

"Simple rooms , incredibly located! Lockers & Onsen also amazing "

"Awesome location! Walkable from Yudanaka Station. Has a shuttle service for pickup and dropoff to the station. Short walk to the bus stop to the Snow Monkey Park. Breakfast buffet is decent. Right next to a brewery if you want to try some local crafted beer. Rooms are nice and big. 2 public onsens and also a private onsen is available. Downside is the kaiseki dinner option may not to available so prepare to plan for dinner elsewhere. They have a do-it-all-staff, this one receptionist was checking us in/out, driving the shuttle van, and communicating in English~ impressive."

"We loved it here. The resort is amazing. The room was a good size. The view was fantastic. Close to the Yubatake, Kusatsu Gate foot bath, restaurants, and markets. They have a free shuttle to the center of town, Yubatake. Also, a shuttle to the bus stop when you go back. Plus, the free big onsen is amazing. You can also use two other hotels' onsens, but Kusatsu Onsen Hotel Resort's is the biggest and nicest. They provide a yukata for use while you're there, which is nice if you want to take pictures outside in a yukata. The staff are all super friendly and nice. We loved this place."

"Great location at the bottom of the mountain next to the quad chairlift. Rentals & dining on site. Paid for “half board” and certainly got my moneys worth. Have stayed here before and will definitely be back."

"My family enjoy the stay so much. Will definitely go back again. "

"Friendly environment. Easy access to gondola "

"Our stay at the hotel was fantastic. The room was clean and well-maintained, and the onsen offered both private and public options, both of which were excellent. The breakfast and dinner were delicious. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kusatsu Onsen town."
