Unusually enough for Japan, Kusatsu does not have a train station of its own. The nearest station is Naganohara Kusatsuguchi 2:30 away from Tokyo by the direct express train (�4620), from where you can take a connecting bus (25 min, �670) to Kusatsu itself.
JR also operates the J?shu Y?meguri direct bus several times a day from Shinjuku (Tokyo), which takes around 4 hours and charges �3000/5600 one-way/return. There is also a SpaLiner Kusatsu service from Nagoya, which takes six hours and charges �6000/10800 one-way/return
