In the Sai-no-Kawahara Park(西の河原公園) of Kusatsu Onsen(草津溫泉), there is a good place which is rarely known by people, such a good place is the visitor center of Kusatsu Onsen.
Although it snows hard this morning, the visitor center still opens. There is no entrance fee for this visitor center, if you want to go in, just sign your name in the reception.
There is an old exhibition hall inside the visitor center, which displays some animal specimens and rocks, all exhibits are preserved well, and the place is clean.
There is also a lounge, warm and comfortable, an ideal place to get some rest or take a nap if you are tired.
A grandpa who watches the visitor center says the main entrance is blocked by snow and slippery, he suggests that Choumeizai leaves by the backdoor, when Choumeizai is leaving, he even sees Choumeizai off, so sweet.
Next to the visitor center is a famous public hot spring bath, the ticket booth sells the unique low temperature yoghurt of Kusatsu Onsen, incredibly smooth and tender, super delicious, must try.
