[2025 Maebashi Hotels] Travel Guide for Shiroiya Hotel (Updated Jul)

I went to the one and only art hotel "Shiraiya Hotel / SHIROIYA HOTEL" ✨ Shiraiya Ryokan was founded in Maebashi, Gunma during the Edo period and was loved by many famous people. It had a history of about 300 years, but closed down in 2008. And in 2020, "Shiraiya Hotel" was reborn under the design of Sou Fujimoto. I'm happy to finally be able to go to this hotel that I've been wanting to go to ever since it opened. When I arrived, I was surprised to see that the Heritage Tower, which is eye-catching from the outside, is also a work of art (Pic.7). When I entered the building, I felt like I had wandered into a museum, with all the art works inside. And above all, there was an atrium that went up to the 4th floor. Leandro Erlich's Lightning Pipes were installed as if they were threading through the stairs, which was fantastic. It was also impressive that I could experience the art works just by going up and down the stairs... At night, it was illuminated in various colors, which was also fantastic. Each room had a different work of art on display, and I stayed in a room designed by Sou Fujimoto, which I had always wanted to stay in. #Kanto Tourism #Gunma Tourism

This bakery doesn't compromise just because it's inside a hotel, and bakers make their bread in the oven every day. Of course, there are many people who go here to buy bread, as well as guests staying at the hotel. 😚⭐️ Both the exterior and interior of this bakery are stylish, and the bread is of course delicious. 🙏

SHIROIYA the RESTAURANT/SHIROIYA HOTEL! This restaurant is located in the Shiroiya Hotel! It was so delicious that I wanted to go there every month...! Beautiful and delicious food made with plenty of local specialties from Gunma, where the hotel is located, and luxurious alcohol pairings including red wine, white wine, sake, and even shochu! It was always delicious...Next time I'd like to try the 7,000 yen lunch course🤣💓💓

The hotel I went to on my trip to Gunma was "SHIROIYA HOTEL"🏨 . An art hotel renovated from a 300-year-old inn🎨It's so wonderful to be surrounded by art created by world-class creators..🩵 . In the lounge on the first floor, we had all-you-can-drink champagne, wine, and juices, as well as baked goods and Gunma's specialty udon noodles, so I could have stayed there forever🥂 . There was also a sauna, so it was wonderful to be able to just enjoy the hotel for a long time..🩵The staff were all so kind and I definitely want to go back! . . . #GunmaTrip#SHIROIYAHOTEL#ShiraiyaHotel#EnjoyJapan

SHIROIYA HOTEL This renovated art hotel is stylish and photogenic everywhere! In the lounge (also stylish!), guests can drink as much beer, wine, sake, and more as they like, and in addition to pastry sweets and homemade prosciutto, they even serve midnight snacks at 9pm (they were already full when I was there. Delicious! And you can have seconds!). It was a wonderful space where I could stay in the hotel forever. #domestictravel #arthotel #gunma #accommodationreview
