Is this EXPENSIVE Ryokan even worth it? | Kusatsu Onsen, Japan

JAPAN INSPIRED PHONE CASES - theexplorerclubb.etsy.com
THE ONE PHOTO PRESET I USE FOR TRAVEL - etsy.me/36LFt9r
After snowboarding for the past few days, it was time to relax and pamper ourselves with a luxurious ryokan stay at Kusatsu Onsen town. We've never paid such an amount for an accommodation so this was huge for us. Nothing was sponsored.
Stay tuned for the last episode of the Japan Winter vlogs :)

Just want to say thank you for your travel vlogs. I always enjoy watching your travel adventures and this time, your Japan vlogs really make me miss Japan and I can't wait to be back some day :') Keep up the good work!!!

[@shawneydepp]

Thanks for the really kind words 🙏🏻 glad to know that! Your time will come soon 👊🏻

[@chongsb]

Stayed at the same Ryokan recently and got to say it's easily the highlight of my entire trip. Definitely worth the price and stay!

[@Boaartun]

love your videos! very inspiring and I can wait to travel to Japan.

[@shawneydepp]

Thanks a lot! There's so much to explore in Japan

[@MajorAddiction]

Beautiful scenery!

[@___shizuka]

my first time watching your vids and you are HILARIOUSSSS! loved the vid so much! cant wait to go in november time!!

[@shawneydepp]

Stoked for ya! Nov/autumn period is gonna be gorgeous

[@phuongnabi]

Amazing! I want to come here at least one time in my life.

[@shawneydepp]

The most we've ever paid for an accommodation. Would you try it someday? What's your experience like staying in a Ryokan?

[@waihwangtan1662]

Its addictive. Everytime we go Japan, we would want to find a Ryokan with a private onsen 😂

[@shohunsuresh6651]

every vlog and every video is just too notch quality👍🏽

[@shawneydepp]

🤙🏻👊🏻

[@life.with.calvin]

Beautiful cinematography but also you made burst out laughing multiple times. 😂😂😂😂 Subscribed!

[@shawneydepp]

😂 thanks a lot!!

[@zainulaqil_]

4 ever my favorites 🙇🏻‍♂️ 🙏🏼

[@shawneydepp]

🙂🙏🏻

[@user-kt8bl8mh4i]

私は日本人です。最近あなたのチャンネルを知り過去の動画も拝見しております。何より映像のセンスが素晴らしい上に日本に対する愛を感じます。日本人が知らない所にも行ってますし、改めて日本の良さを伝えてくれるのは嬉しい限りです。 伊勢神宮、淡路島、四国、宮島、しまなみ街道も非常におすすめです。ぜひ一度足を運んで下さい😂

[@shawneydepp]

ありがとうございます。お勧めをありがとう、私は間違いなくそれらの場所をチェックするために戻ってきます!

[@penniehoma5419]

finally.. yeay

[@lidna82]

Thanks for taking JP to us!!!

[@shawneydepp]

Pleasure!

[@lisirchin]

Omg thanks for the video. I’m missing japan AGAIN! The last onsen I went was Shirahone Onsen at Matsumoto. Japan is a country I can’t help but do repeated visits 😂 btw thought it was funny the guy had so much trouble getting into the ryokan but the lady was many a times already well adjusted and comfortable in the water! 😂cute

[@shawneydepp]

Ikr. There’s always a reason to return back to Japan. I think females in general are built to insulate their bodies way better than males haha

[@Mel-kv6py]

FAV experience

[@shawneydepp]

Yasss

[@foodlover195_]

Winter Routenburo (Outdoor Baths) is literally the best way to experience onsens - although you definitely don't need to spend a small fortune to do so it certainly helps with the experience😅

[@shawneydepp]

Thanks for sharing this. I’ve learnt a new word 🙏🏻

[@billychau5558]

I was thinking about this onsen ryokan, and just went ahead after watching your video, so thank you very much! Would like to ask you how do book the ryokan private onsen? it looks so good there and would definitely love to secure a slot ideally in the morning to take in the zen Japanese view.

[@shawneydepp]

It’s a first come first serve system, and there are only 3 private onsens. You’d have a better chance of not waiting probably very early in the morning

[@chadmolenaar1]

Well done guys!!! Loved it. First time watching your channel! Subscription checked!!

[@shawneydepp]

Appreciate it, thanks man 🙌🏻

[@mrmatz408]

I'd love to do this trip some day with my wife. Great video! I wonder if we can get by with rudimentary Japanese?

[@shawneydepp]

Thanks! Yes basic japanese like ‘thank you’ or ‘hello’ would suffice

[@phuongnabi]

Watching your video makes me know more about other culture. Thank you for that Shawney!

[@user-qm7jw]

I'm Japanese, but I bathe for at least two hours in onsen. My grandfather used to bathe for about 5 hours.

[@shawneydepp]

wow. that's amazing. I'd feel a little dizzy after an hour

[@konadora]

it’s “Kaiseki” dinner btw :) looks great!

[@shawneydepp]

Shucks thanks for the correction! 🙌🏻

[@konadora]

@@shawneydepp no problem! fan of your videos, always so breathtaking! i’ve been to Kusatsu in November last year and it was such an amazing getaway from the city life!

[@shawneydepp]

@konadora Appreciate it man 🙏 exactly what you said. Loved the vibes of the town!

[@theluxurylowdown]

How did you book your ryokan? Thinking about going to Kusatsu soon!

[@shawneydepp]

I booked through agoda :)

[@LordBagdanoff]

What’s the fastest way to go there from Tokyo?

[@itsme_v142]

Hi is it the public onsen also in tokinoniwa ryokan? Thanks

[@shawneydepp]

Yes the ‘public’ onsen is for the ryokan guests

[@primarthaswariprayastuti3576]

Is The ryokan private public only for guest ? Can we go there without stay at ryokan?

[@shawneydepp]

It’s for guests only

[@nile_ken]

$550 per room or for 2 of you? 'coz I've watched another video they said that the payment it is per head. Thanks

[@shawneydepp]

We booked through agoda, so it was charged as per room with breakfast + dinner for 2 pax

[@Jijichan5]

🍙

[@susanng7298]

Hihi. S$550 per night per pax which includes dinner and bfast? So it’s x2 pax S$1100 for a night for u both?

[@shawneydepp]

Hey it was actually S$550 per night for 2 pax, including dinner and bfast. Was pretty worth it

[@winniethepoohandeeyore2]

Too westernized, pass
