The venue is "Neto-yu," a famous landmark in Kusatsu Onsen. Located in the heart of the Kusatsu hot spring town, it is a highly popular spot that can be easily visited alongside other sightseeing activities. Most visitors arrive via public transportation or on foot, but we recommend checking your transportation methods from other sightseeing areas in advance.
The Yumomi-kun Show is a wonderful way to intuitively understand Japanese traditional culture. By enjoying these traditional movements as entertainment, you will gain a deeper appreciation for the history of Kusatsu Onsen. To fully enjoy the performance, we recommend relaxing and soaking in the atmosphere of the venue. Since it is held during the hot season, it is a great activity to include in a summer sightseeing plan to stay refreshed.
As the event takes place during the summer, we recommend light, comfortable clothing. Since you will likely be exploring the area, comfortable walking shoes and items for heat protection (such as a hand fan or handkerchief) will ensure a pleasant experience.
While payments at the venue or surrounding facilities are generally recommended in cash, this may vary by facility. It is safer to carry cash with you.
The performance is highly visual and can be enjoyed even without understanding the language, though detailed explanations are primarily in Japanese.
