Yubatake Souan
A five minute walk from Kusatsu-Onsen Bus Terminal. This “footbath café” in the Souan ryokan inn is situated in front of a “yubatake,” an area used to harvest hot spring minerals which is a famed practice in Kusatsu. Customers can enjoy soaking tired feet in hot spring waters while enjoying the café’s food and drink menu. Recently remodeled in 2012, Souan operates out of an old Japanese-style home decorated in Japanese modern style. The atmospheric wooden building creates a relaxing effect. There are coin lockers for customers to use and the café and footbath are available for use even by non-guests. Besides the footbath, there’s also counter and table seating. In addition to beverages, soft serve ice cream, and other sweets, the café also serves okkirikomi, a local soup with thick noodles.
