Kusatsu Town saw its highest number of tourists last year, 3.7 million.

On the 4th, Kusatsu Town announced that the number of tourists in 2023 will be 3,701,300, up 17.1% from the previous year, surpassing the previous record of 3,271,646 in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic. With the redevelopment of the hot spring town, new tourist spots inspired by the Meiji to Showa periods have been born one after another, including "Onsenmon" along National Route 292. With the COVID-19 pandemic being classified as Class 5, it is believed that these efforts have been successful and have led to an increase in young tourists.
