What is a Ryokan? Ryokans are the best way to experience Japanese culture and enjoy the true comforts of Japanese hospitality and service.
Hot springs have a very long history in Japan, and they are an intimate part of Japanese culture. There are over 3,000 "onsen" ,or hot springs, in Japan. Many can be found at the ryokans available on Japanese Guest Houses.
Located in the mountains of Gunma, Yakushi Onsen is a great spot to enjoy natural hot spring baths (onsen). It's convenient to visit Haruna lake, Agatsuma valley, Iwabitsu mountain, Kusatsu hot spring, Shima hot spring and Ikaho hot spring too.
