Far from being a winter-only destination, Kusatsu Onsen Ski Resort offers plenty of green season activities for all visitors—including pets. The verdant mountain scenery and cool, clear air make the region an excellent escape from the heat and humidity of the city.
Visitors as young as three can get their adrenaline pumping as they fly through the air on the resort’s bungee trampoline, where one jump will send you soaring skyward for mid-air somersaults. Feel the need for speed? Rent a mountain cart or mountain board and scoot down the slopes as fast as you dare.
For slower speeds but still top-notch fun, try scooting across the summer slopes on push scooters and stand-up Ninebot scooters. Grass skiing allows those who miss the snowy slopes to slalom down the hills even in high summer.
More relaxing recreations like mini-putt or mallet golf are also available, while the entomologically inclined can rent butterfly nets and bug boxes and spend the day studying local fauna. For furry family members, the dog run will have tails wagging.
Tennis courts are located nearby; and soccer balls, frisbees, badminton sets, and glove sets are available for rent, to be used on the miniature athletic field and free space.
Green season: Late April until early November; 9:00 am until 5:00 pm (final entry 4:00 pm)
