Kusatsu Onsen Gateway Parking Lot

The Gateway to Kusatsu Onsen

This camera watches over the free public parking lot beside the Onsenmon, the symbolic hot spring gate that welcomes visitors to Kusatsu Onsen. The lot is the principal arrival point for travelers reaching the resort by car, set just below the town's compact center.

A Legendary Spa Destination

Kusatsu is consistently ranked among Japan's finest hot spring resorts, famed for the sulfurous, naturally flowing waters of its central Yubatake field. The town draws visitors to its public baths, ryokan inns, and traditional yumomi water-cooling performances.

The Mountain Setting

Perched high on the slopes of the volcanic Kusatsu-Shirane massif in Gunma Prefecture, the town rests amid forested highland scenery. Beyond the parking bays, rooftops and lodgings step up the wooded hillside that frames the resort.

Planning Your Visit

The live view helps travelers gauge how busy the gateway lot is before setting out, a practical aid during peak holiday periods. It also offers armchair viewers a genuine window onto the daily comings and goings of one of Japan's most beloved onsen towns.
