Oyado Zen

I was sceptical about the entire check-in process before arrival since they mention there is no human staff at the property and it's all automated. But the experience turned out to be great with no issues at all. The property is lovely, a short 10 min walk from the bus station and there is a convenience store nearby. All of Kusatsu is walkable, so no touristy place is really very far here. It was the ryokan experience at a low cost and I loved it. The room was Japanese style and nice, very warm with the provided heater. A very quiet property and is located in a residential area. I saw a couple of other guests at the property, but there were no chances of interaction with anyone- it's not the typical hostel environment. The shared washroom was also always kept clean. They had towels which you can take while going to one of the onsens in town.

年末年始でも値段が安いこと 2人でファミリータイプの部屋に泊まったが、部屋が広くゆっくりできた こたつがあるのが嬉しい

アメニティがない お風呂がない(近くに身体も洗える公衆浴場あり) 湯畑まで徒歩10分程かかる その分安いのであえて言えばです。

のんびり寛げる和室で快適でした。 温泉も近くにあって良かった。

ちょっと足音が気になった
