Kusatsu is a resort town nestled in the mountains of Gunma. The townshop itself is extremely pretty and boasts a geothermal spring which steams up from the ground in the very center of the town.

Kusatsu is a popular family resort and has a slightly up market feel to it. There are plenty of onsens, restaurants and souvenir shops to purchase the local delicacies. The ski field (Kusatsu Kokusai) itself is nice for beginners and intermediate levels. It can get a bit crowded during holiday periods.
