Shirahatano-yu is a free, popular public bathhouse located near the Yubatake in Kusatsu Onsen. Known as the largest of Kusatsu's public baths, it features two tubs with different temperatures, sourced from the Shirahata spring, known for its milky white waters. Visitors can enjoy a traditional onsen experience, though it can get crowded due to its prime location. Note that there are no lockers, so it's best to avoid bringing valuables. The bathhouse is easily accessible and offers a unique opportunity to experience Kusatsu's hot spring culture.
