Hello. In this video, I am driving to Kusatsu Onsen in Gunma Prefecture from Tokyo by rental car. The drive is approximately 3-4 hours in total by toll roads, and the scenery along the way is beautiful too. Kusatsu Onsen has been consistently ranked as the number one onsen town in Japan. Between Kusatsu Onsen and Tokyo is Karuizawa, famous for a huge outlet mall that is a perfect stop after a refreshing soak. Let’s explore the peaceful and gorgeous little town!
