Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question, please post it. Thank you! Kusatsu Onsen Ryokan 2009/8/23 Kusatsu My sister and I are thinking of staying for a night in one of ryokan in Kusatsu and I have foud this: http://www.kusatsu-yumotokan.co.jp/ Has anyone been to this, was it ok? Anyone recommend somewhere else? And also what's the earliest time the bus departs from Kusatsu Onsen to Naganohara Kusatsuguchi Station? by cheliste   ... 2009/8/23 I have not stayed at that ryokan, but the earliest bus from Kusatsu to Naganohara leaves at 6:25, probably too early for you to enjoy the ryokan breakfast. by Uji rate this post as useful Follow question 2009/8/24 Thanks for that Uji! Hope this is not too much, but is there an online bus time table for that route?(perhaps in a pdf format) One more question, what time do they normally serve breakfast in ryokan? It's just that I am a bit concern about the full schedule we have back in Tokyo that day but then I don't want to miss the breakfast in Kusatsu as well. :) Thanks! by cheliste rate this post as useful ... 2009/8/25 The timetable in Japanese: http://www.kusatsu-onsen.ne.jp/access/train01.html The upper table shown the timetable in direction of Kusatsu. The lower table in the opposite direction. The tables also include the schedules of the trains between Takasaki and Naganohara-Kusatsu-guchi. 草津温泉バスターミナル meand Kusatsu Onsen Bus Terminal 長野原草津口 means Naganohara-Kustau-guchi One more question, what time do they normally serve breakfast in ryokan? Normally between 7 and 9, but it depends on the ryokan. by Uji rate this post as useful Buses to Kusatsu Onsen 2009/9/26 Hi, I am staying for 1 night in naraya hotel in Kusatsu in October 2009 and I am planning my journey from Tokyo all the way to Kusatsu Onsen bus stop I wish to enquire on the buses between Naganohara Kusatsuguchi Station and Kusatsu Onsen.
