貸別荘 THE HIDEOUT VILLA KUSATSU

THE HIDEOUT is a whole villa rented to one group at a time, with its own onsen bath fed straight from the source and open to you around the clock for the length of your stay. Inside it's built like an old Japanese farmhouse: tatami rooms, a wood-toned living and dining space, and a full kitchen for cooking your own meals, an indoor barbecue, or a pot of nabe. It sits among the trees about fifteen to twenty minutes on foot from Kusatsu's Yubatake field, hidden enough that the site just tells you to follow the arrow signs to find it. The parking lot is down a long flight of stairs (close to twenty of them) from the door, so a backpack works better than a rolling suitcase.
