History

Traditional Bathing Techniques and the Breath of History

Kusatsu Onsen has traditional bathing techniques. In the "Dento-yu" group bathing method, after "Yumomi" (a technique of stirring the hot water with wooden paddles), everyone enters the bath at the command of the "Yunaga" (the bath master), and after soaking for three minutes, everyone gets out at the same time. "Yumomi" is a technique of using wooden paddles to lower the water temperature. The water at Kusatsu Onsen is extremely hot and cannot be used as is. However, "Yumomi" can lower the temperature to a suitable level. "Yumomi" also softens the water and is effective as a preparation exercise before bathing. These traditional bathing techniques are a valuable experience where you can feel the history and culture of Kusatsu Onsen.
