801. Nakamuraya Ryokan, Kusatsu Onsen, Gunma ★ I went for the higaeri for ¥2,500, and you can choose one of five private baths. Higaeri is listed from 11:00 to 15:00. There are various cats living at the ryokan. There is something to drink. I skipped the ingredients table. Indoor private barrel bath. The water is clear with a bluish tint. The temperature was 43.5. It was easy to breathe inside. It felt especially cozy with the lights off and daylight coming in through the window. A pleasant place, the barrel bath was very relaxing. Cat lovers will especially like it. 14.01.2026
