Tags: Traffic
This live HD moving webcam takes you to Kusatsu Onsen, one of Japan 's most famous hot spring towns, located in Gunma Prefecture . The live cam feed looks over the Kusatsu Onsen Gate, the entrance to this charming town, sometimes referred to as "Yumomi Gate." Kusatsu Onsen is known for its healing waters and traditional Japanese atmosphere. Just beyond the gate lies Yubatake (湯畑), the town's iconic hot water field, where the mineral-rich spring water cools before reaching the various bathhouses. The Yumomi performance, a historical technique in which large wooden paddles stir the hot water, is a key part of the cooling process and a cultural highlight for visitors. The rhythmic stirring is accompanied by traditional music and chanting, showcasing local heritage. As you explore, you’ll notice the streets lined with ryokan (traditional inns), public bathhouses, and shops, giving you a glimpse of historical Japan. The nearby Sainokawara Park offers scenic open-air baths, surrounded by nature, perfect for relaxation. Kusatsu's hot springs are famous for their high acidity and are believed to provide numerous health benefits.
