    Location: 草津温泉

    Kusatsu Onsen’s Thank You Day
    
    On Sunday, May 27th Kusastu Onsen will be hosting a “Thank you Day.”
    The day actually surrounds a traditional ceremony which involves retrieving natural ice
    from the mountains, rhododendrons from the fields and placing them at the altar to pray for
    sound health. This ceremony is rarely done as of late and is quite a sight.
    
    At the Yubatake, hot water field in the middle of Kustatsu town, this ceremony will be
    combined with a day to say thanks. Local products as well as shaved ice and tea will be
    offered to guests by the staff of the onsen hotels. Products are free and offered on a first
    come first serve basis.
