Located in the center of the hot spring town, Yu-batake is the symbol of Kusatsu Onsen."Yu-batake" and "Yu-no-hana" are the traditional culture of Kusatsu.

It is also from the Taisho (time period) Period that we started to make Yu-no-hana in Kusatsu it is now, until then it has taken in the extensive range from Sai no kawara to the Yu-batake Sai no kawara, I took a straw in the pool and picked up a Yu-no-hana that adhered there .Prior to the war, we increased the number of tubs that were four, to seven after the war.
As it were, the scenery of the current Yu-batake is a traditional culture that has been made, inherited, and survived as the collection of Yu-no-hana becomes more popular.Just like hot springs, due to this background, the city of Kusatsu is a spa town that is loved by many people during a long history.

A souvenir shop, a bunny shop etc. are arranged from a Yu-batake passing Sai no kawara street in the Sai no kawara crowded with tourists, the lava rolls and it reaches a desolate Kawara where smoke rises in the future.A hot spring of 50 degrees or more gushes from everywhere along the Yukawa that flows into the garden at 15,000 liters per minute.
Because of the strong acidic hot springs, no vegetation grows on the Kawara, so it is also known as "Sainokawara / Oninosensui".However, the only rare moss called marigoque grows in Yukawa.

In the park there is a walkable walkway with cobblestones, and along the way, there are hot spring ponds that emit beautiful emerald green, such as “Zuisho Pond” and “kohaku no ike lake”, and German medicine Dr Bälz There is a bust of his collaborator Dr Scriba.
