A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
草津市
Kusatsu in Shiga pairs an old post town with a lakeside garden. It is distinct from the hot-spring destination in Gunma; the two stops are separate, so plan transport between them.
This guide covers places within Kusatsu, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
01A first-visit stop
草津宿本陣
This building accommodated high-ranking travellers in the old post town. The photograph shows its exterior in May 2019. Check admission, closures and photography rules before viewing the historic rooms and displays.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02A first-visit stop
水生植物公園みずの森
This aquatic garden is on the Karasuma Peninsula. The photograph shows the garden in July 2025, not current blooms. Do not confuse its displays with the former lakeside lotus colony; consult current guidance.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02 · A LITTLE BITE
Look for ubagamochi, a small bite-sized Kusatsu sweet. Check the package for ingredients and storage instructions and ask about today’s selection; products and opening times vary by shop.
