Kusatsu is definitely worth a visit but like others said a week would be pushing it. The skijo isn't actually that big, just long and narrow. I like the top bit though and a few sneaky runs. They do some walking tours up there, over to the crater which is fun.

They would be silly, as it is free. It does the job for me.

I don't care, it's Friday. another 2 hours.

Don't forget to lock your doors aomorigum!

No they don't.

Best part of the day for sure. Especually with the 1st graders as there is always lots of seconds!
