Yubatake, Hot spring source in Kusatsu, Japan.
The Yubatake generates steaming hot mineral water in the center of Kusatsu Onsen, displaying wooden channels that distribute water through the town.
The thermal springs of Kusatsu have operated continuously for over 1800 years, establishing the town as a leading wellness destination in Japan.
The Netsunoyu facility next to Yubatake presents yumomi performances where performers cool hot spring water using wooden paddles with synchronized movements.
Visitors access Kusatsu Onsen via direct highway buses from Tokyo in four hours or through combined train and bus services from different stations.
The springs produce the largest water volume among Japanese onsen, with highly acidic properties that naturally eliminate bacteria and microorganisms.
