About Kusatsu Onsen
Kusatsu Onsen is one of Japan's most famous hot-spring towns, built around the steaming Yubatake in the town centre. Its ski area rises on Tenguyama just above town, with the active Kusatsu-Shirane volcano beyond. These Kusatsu Onsen live cams come from the town itself and cover the springs, the slopes and the mountain.
Which Kusatsu Onsen webcam to check first
Start with the Yubatake for snowfall and steam in the centre of town. The Tenguyama base and summit cameras show the ski area, and the Mount Shirane camera shows the crater area on the volcano.
Before you go to Kusatsu Onsen
Check the ski area's operating news and the Japan Meteorological Agency, including any volcanic warnings for Kusatsu-Shirane, before you go. Mountain roads above town can close in winter.
Webcams and modelled weather can be delayed, incomplete or offline. A camera can't tell you whether a lift, piste, road or off-piste route is open or safe.
