Kusatsu has been voted the #1 onsen town in Japan for almost 20 years in a row by Japan’s major travel agents. The town is known for the high-quality sulfuric hot springs, which are believed to have therapeutic properties, promoting healing and relaxation. Most importantly, its onsen culture has been preserved through the generations, providing visitors with a unique opportunity to experience traditional Japanese bath rituals and customs.

On this trip, in addition to experiencing the onsens, we enjoy one of the world's most sophisticated meals: the kaiseki dinner. It's a 9-course meal with aesthetically beautiful and delicious dishes. A must-do for anyone visiting Japan.

In essence, Kusatsu Onsen combines natural beauty, cultural richness, and a therapeutic atmosphere, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking an authentic and rejuvenating experience in Japan.

► WHO AM I?

I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world... stuff that, for so long, I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!

P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American, and he's actually camera-shy. That's why he's behind the camera most of the time 😉
