Breakfasts were excellent. Every staff were friendly and we really felt like home. Location is nearby the major travel spot but not noisy. Everything is good, just a very little thing: moved luggages by hand to room at 2nd floor. To me as a hushand and a daddy, it meant luggages of 3 persons I moved.

Absolutely loved our story here. If you book here, get the Sora room. It is worth it. It has its own private bath and lots of space. We loved it. And the town surrounding, is so cute and fun to walk around. It is a short walk from the bus when you arrive. The staff was so welcoming and sweet. We highly recommend staying here.

Great stay in Kusatsu

My two adult sons and daughter in law and I were very happy with our overnight at Hanaingen. We arrived an hour early for checkin but we were greeted warmly with wonderful local sweets and macha. The traditional tatami rooms had comfortable beds plus the usual modern hotel amenities. The four private Onsen rooms are convenient to access plus you're minutes away from Yubataka and the bus terminal in this very walkable town. The beautiful breakfast included with the room is another highlight. Highly recommend!
