There are two onsen baths; one inside and one outside. The water in the open bath makes your silk feel silky and smooth. The buffet breakfast and dinner are of good quality with many varieties. The night shows are good entertainment at the hotel. We had a relaxing stay at the hotel.
This resort went way above and beyond our expectations. The staff was very friendly and helpful, making us feel very comfortable when explaining how things worked. The buffet, lounge, and free drinks and snacks were wonderful. And the facilities are very clean and very well maintained. The different onsens all have different characteristics and they're all very charming and relaxing 😊 Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a luxurious relaxing stay!
The property was nice and modern. All amenities were in working order. Location is further from center of town.
The town is also deserted, almost. Nothing really around.
Onsen water is nice as well as the low temperature sauna.
I would highly recommend this hotel. It is really a nice place, just 5-15 minutes away from the bus stop and Yubatake. This hotel is clean, both the room and the public area, staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Hotel as a whole was clean and well kept, although the decor was rather dated that gave you an ‘80s vibe (in a good way).
Dinner buffet was nice and have a decent variety of dishes. I will highly recommend future guests to opt for it.
Staff was courteous and professional. Both checking in and checking out was efficient despite being in high season.
We were greeted on arrival by the nicest staff. The lady that was in charge of showing us around was so sweet and informative. She gave us all her recommendation's for an excellent visit to kusatsu and they did not disappoint! We enjoyed the onsens, the new lounge, the drum show and the food! We had so much fun!
First, the pictures on expedia or even the hotels website did not do this place justice. This is a gorgeous hotel with lots to do and see. We were checked in by "Lucky" who spoke really great english. He spent about an hour with us checking us in, walking us to our rooms, showing us everything in our rooms and helping with luggage. Both the dinner and breakfast were buffet with lots of options. I think we were the only foreigners there but they did not treat us any different. The shuttle down to the town square is very convenient. We did not use the hot springs but we did use the open air bath in our room which was amazing. The beds were reasonable comfortable. Enjoyed the plethora of amenities and open space in the room.
We throughly enjoyed our stay. Super, beautiful hotel, a great staff at the front desk, dining, entertainment was a big surprise. I wished we stayed day or two longer. I would return again when opportunity arise. Thank you all to Sakurai. A Five Star and beyond.

Great stay. I booked a room with open air bath and it came with the access to the executive lounge for afternoon snacks and drinks. Snacks, beers and wine. The snacks there was amazing. Coz I booked two consecutive nites, they gave us access to the exclusive public bath, less ppl and with more privacy.
The room was so clean and the staff were excellent. I was impressed by a staff Jaing, she was so helpful and always so enthusiastic and ready to help all the time when I saw her at the reception - check in and check out and when she was working at the executive lounge. The cleaning team was doing an excellent job.
All of these made my stay so wonderful.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Sakurai. We booked the top floor suites, which came with several extra benefits.
The room was very large and well laid out, with a kitchen, a bathroom with a jacuzzi and stunning view, two bedrooms, and a living area. We were taken straight to our room by a concierge when we checked in, which was a nice touch. The view was excellent — you could see the town centre from the room.
We also had access to the Sakura Lounge, where food and drinks were included, and a more private onsen that was limited to a small number of guests.
The hotel prepared a special dinner for special guests in a separate restaurant, using best quality ingredients. The food and service were both excellent.
One thing to note is that the hotel is very large, so there are no private hot spring baths. This wasn’t an issue for us, but worth mentioning. The main onsen facilities are very good, especially the outdoor baths, which we would highly recommend.
Thank you again for the staff at Sakurai.
The food is delicious and very varied. And the onsen bath was fantastic. They have access to a spring that makes your skin feel soft like cotton.
Truly a lovely experience
It was a fantastic stay with a hotspring bath house included inside the hotel for the guest. Plus the buffet was delicious and amazing.

We had a pleasant stay, largely thanks to the excellent onsen facilities. The room was standard and met our needs, though the dining experience varied. We found the dinner buffet to be average in terms of quality and variety, whereas the breakfast was a step up and much more satisfying.
