This live HD streaming webcam transports you to Kusatsu Onsen, a renowned hot spring destination in Gunma Prefecture, Japan. The camera provides a view of the Kusatsu Onsen Gate, often called "Yumomi Gate," which serves as the entrance to this picturesque town. Kusatsu Onsen is celebrated for its therapeutic waters and its authentic Japanese ambiance. Just past this gateway lies Yubatake (湯畑), the town's signature hot water field, where the mineral-filled spring water cools before it flows into various bathhouses. A highlight for visitors is the Yumomi performance, a traditional practice that uses large wooden paddles to stir the hot water as a cooling method. This rhythmic stirring is set to traditional music and chanting, reflecting the rich local culture. As you wander through the area, you'll see streets filled with ryokan (traditional inns), public bathhouses, and shops, providing a glimpse into Japan’s historical charm. Nearby, Sainokawara Park features scenic outdoor baths enveloped in nature, ideal for unwinding. Kusatsu's hot springs are particularly known for their high acidity and are thought to offer various health benefits.
