Kane Midori: A Stay At One Of Japan's Famous Onsens
Kusatsu is one of Japan’s top-rated onsen. The sulfurous smell of these healing waters can be detected as soon as you enter this small mountain town. To take full advantage of these famous hot springs, you should plan on spending two nights here. Kane Midori Ryokan has been welcoming guests for over 130 years. Be forewarned that the staff at Kane Midori are not fluent in English and you might have to get creative to communicate.
It’s best to book your room on a website like Booking.com where viewing the room choices in English is a breeze. On Booking.com there are only two types of rooms listed, a Japanese superior twin or a Japanese twin. From my visit, I know they also have a Western-style room that features a raised bed instead of futons on the floor. You may have to contact the hotel to book this type of room, but I’d suggest the futon beds for an authentic experience.
