This live stream looks out over Kusatsu, the mountain hot spring town in Gunma Prefecture, Japan. It is a useful way to see the mood of a high-altitude onsen town before you travel or to check conditions from afar. The page adds local time and weather so you can read the view in context.
Kusatsu sits at about 1,358 metres in the mountains of central Honshu and is one of Japan's best-known hot spring resorts. Its sulphurous waters flow from the volcanic Mount Shirane area, and the town is built around its traditional bathhouses and wooden inns. The surrounding forests and volcanic terrain give it a quiet, misty character that changes sharply with the seasons.
The stream is labelled as a mountain view, so expect a wide look at the high-altitude landscape rather than street-level detail. Depending on the angle, you may see slopes, forest and the town's rooftops. Mornings and clear winter days are often the most rewarding for watching, when snow can settle on the ridges and the air is sharp. Cloud can roll in quickly, so the view may change within minutes.
Kusatsu has cool summers, which are popular with visitors seeking escape from the lowland heat, and cold, snowy winters. Spring and autumn are generally the most comfortable seasons for walking. Nearby cameras include Yamanouchi at 熊の湯スキー場, Shiga Kogen and Yamanouchi, which are useful for comparing conditions across the region's mountains.
