"Jikan-yu" is a bathing method unique to Kusatsu that has been passed down since the Edo period and is a hot spring therapy that takes advantage of the acidic spring quality and high water temperature. "Yumomi" is essential to lower the temperature to the ideal without using water and keeping the water's ingredients intact, and this is performed lively to the accompaniment of yumomi songs such as Kusatsu-bushi. At "Netsu-no-yu," in addition to yumomi and dance shows, there is also a "yumomi experience," allowing you to directly experience and feel a part of Kusatsu's hot spring culture that has been cultivated over a long history.
