Yokoso Peeps, it's Oz and I'm back with another cheap adventure in Japan!
So today I'm going to be taking you to a place called Kusatsu.
It's an onsen area and it's really famous among Japanese people but not many foreigners know about it. So it's gonna be a good experience.
Would you like to eat some bugs? Yum!
Wow, this water looks really hot! It's bubbling. Smells like rotten eggs.
It's the sulfur. Wow, this is cool. I don't know what this is supposed to be but just enjoy guys!
Hot?
This place is awesome right?
It's really pretty and there's a lot of people around here and actually it's really cool, it's not humid or hot at all.
Right now we're heading to our Ryokan, our Japanese style onsen hotel.
We finally arrived at our ryokan. We went on the cheap side so ours isn't as fancy as the other ones but hopefully the inside looks pretty cool
The outside is not too bad.
This is our room. Japanese style room. It a big room and pretty spacious. Refrigerator
There's going to be futons laid out for us before we sleep by the housekeeper or whoever works here.
Toilet
And we don't have a shower or bath, you have to use the public one. It's available in the hallway over here
And the hotel's onsen is actually unisex so you can go boys and girls, it's not separate. Which is kind of awkward.
This is what it looks like. You take off your clothes here...
So we get to eat in our room. She brings the food to us. So this is our dinner!
After we had our dinner we decided to check out the onsens.
There's about 19 public onsens, they're free and anyone can go in anytime.
Alright, so here is just one of the free onsens for the public that I was talking about. This one right here.
It's free. One section for the boys and over there is the girls section. It's basic, you take off your clothes and go inside and get in.
Then there's also some pay onsens.
The ones that are a little more expensive, a little more nicer, they're from 500 yen to 1000 yen. There's one there right behind me.
So we went to that one. That one was 600 yen and it was pretty good. They didn't have an outdoor area but it was good
It's a lot more clean, lot more facilities and the actual onsen area was a lot more pretty and wooden
However, the only problem was I couldn't bring my camera or wallet or anything because apparently especially in the public onsens
When people take off their clothes and wallets and phones and leave them in the little box, sometimes it gets stolen.
So this morning after breakfast we're gonna head out again. We're probably gonna do a couple of more onsens and I'll show you around the town a little.
And something popular is Onsen Tamago which is eggs boiled in the onsen water
It's kind of like half cooked, half raw.
Sauce, oh shit. As you can see, I am not an onsen tamago pro.
It's half raw half cooked. It's like a very light tasting egg. If you don't like raw egg I think you could still probably eat this.
And here in Kusatsu there's a jinja or shrine. So we're gonna check it out and go up up the stairs!
Hot! Super Hot!
Good? Hot?
Alright, so there you go. We just saw Kusatsu onsen area. Hope you enjoyed it.
