Overview
Kusatsu Onsen Yorokobi no Yado Takamatsu is a 103-room onsen ryokan in Gunma, about a 4-minute walk from Yubatake. It has two communal baths and two garden-style private-hire baths, allowing families to bathe together in privacy. Cribs are available to borrow in guest rooms, and children's yukata from 80 cm are available. There are four dining venues, and a low-allergen menu is available by advance application. The bathing tax is free for children ages 0 to 11.
Rooms
There are 103 guest rooms: 8 Western-style rooms, 93 Japanese-style tatami rooms, and 2 Japanese-Western rooms. Standard Japanese-style rooms are 10 or 12 tatami mats and accommodate 2 to 6 guests; the non-smoking 10-tatami room accommodates 2 to 3 guests. Larger families may prefer the 20.5-tatami Japanese-style rooms with two or three connected rooms, which accommodate 6 to 10 guests, or the Japanese-Western "Semi-Suite," which has a 12-tatami main Japanese-style room, a twin-bed room, a living room, and a private Kusatsu Onsen bathroom and accommodates 2 to 8 guests. "Tenkyu" and "Shugyoku" opened in April 2023 and are new guest rooms with semi-open-air baths fed directly by the Yubatake spring, plus a sauna and cold-water bath. Tenkyu is 80 sq m (60 sq m when used by 2 guests), accommodates 2 to 5 guests, and has 5 semidouble beds. Shugyoku is 50 sq m, accommodates 2 guests, and has 1 wide king-size bed. Cribs are available to borrow in guest rooms, and the front desk can provide information about children's yukata from 80 cm. Some rooms have a Japanese-modern design with low beds set on tatami, allowing guests to choose a sleeping surface lower than a standard bed.
Dining
There are 4 dining venues. The fifth-floor Kirakutei is a kaiseki restaurant centered on hot-pot dishes, with fried and grilled dishes finished in an open kitchen. The fourth-floor Kiwami-aji is a restaurant with private rooms for up to 8 guests and counter seating. The 11th-floor Kibou-mine is the main dining room on the top floor and also serves as the breakfast buffet venue the following morning. Only guests who book an in-room dining plan may eat kaiseki cuisine in their guest room. The photo gallery includes a listing for a children's dinner. For guests with food allergies, a low-allergen menu excluding the 28 specified allergenic ingredients is available by application through a dedicated form by 6 p.m. 2 days before the scheduled stay. However, the breakfast buffet does not offer the low-allergen menu; it only labels the 8 specified allergenic ingredients, and because cooking utensils and tableware are shared, complete allergen removal is not possible.
Baths and Onsen
There are 2 communal baths, each with an open-air bath, supplied by the Yubatake spring with water flowing continuously without adding water or heating. The indoor bath in the communal bath "Megumi" is divided into 3 tubs at different temperatures: "hot," "regular," and "lukewarm." It is designed so children can bathe with peace of mind. Bathing is unavailable from 1 a.m. to 4 a.m. during gender-switching and cleaning. There are 2 garden-style private-hire family baths. They cost JPY 2,200 per room for 50 minutes, including tax, and must be booked at the front desk on the day of use. Hours are from 2 p.m. to 11:20 p.m., and they may also be used from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. Families can use them when they want to bathe together in private. The bathing tax is JPY 150 for adults and free of charge for children ages 0 to 11. The Japanese-Western "Semi-Suite" has a private Kusatsu Onsen bathroom, so guests can also bathe in the onsen in their room.
Family-Friendly Features
Cribs are available to borrow in guest rooms, and the front desk can provide information about children's yukata from 80 cm.

Some accommodation plans allow elementary school-age children to choose the same sukiyaki or shabu-shabu dinner as adults, but this is limited to certain plans.
