Everything you need to know about Yabase Park
Kusatsu Hot Spring Grand Hotel is ideal for evening cherry blossom viewing, located just a 7-minute walk from Yabase Park. The hotel features a traditional Japanese garden with an open-air bath where guests can enjoy illuminated sakura views under the night sky.
Its viewing tatami rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows offering unobstructed vistas of the park’s "Sakura Tunnel" lit up at dusk. For best availability during spring, we recommend HopeGoo early through the HopeGoo platform to secure a sakura-viewing room with premium access. Complimentary shuttle service also connects the hotel to Kusatsu’s central area and major attractions.

Guests can enjoy hands-on experiences at the on-site mini farm, where kids feed lambs and rabbits. Free bicycle rentals are available for family rides along the park’s scenic trails, ideal for enjoying seasonal blooms and autumn foliage.
All rooms boast soundproof walls and quiet air conditioning for restful sleep. Book through the HopeGoo platform to unlock exclusive family packages with upgrades and special amenities.
Staying at Kusatsu Shukubo Inn, you can reach the local specialty shops around Yabase Park within a 5-minute walk. This historic alleyway houses century-old wagashi confectioneries, handmade pottery studios, and traditional tea houses—like Yabase Wagashiya, famous for its matcha mochi, sold in daily limited batches.
The inn provides a free guidebook highlighting each shop’s unique offerings and opening hours, plus a "Local Food Passport" that grants a free souvenir when three shops are stamped. On-site luggage storage and travel concierge services help tailor your day-long leisure itinerary.
Opt for a room with a private garden courtyard to enjoy morning tea while gazing at cherry blossoms drifting across the park’s misty horizon—a quintessential Japanese experience.
