A sensory-stimulating, inspiration-filled Art Hotel

A long-established Ryokan once located in Maebashi has been reborn as “Shiroiya Hotel” after 300 years of history. Renovated from an abandoned building, its bold, exposed-concrete atrium features enchanting “light art” created by world-renowned artists, along with guest rooms—no two alike in design—scattered throughout. The on-site innovative restaurant, featured in the global gourmet guide “Gault & Millau” for five consecutive years, offers a dining experience rooted in French cuisine × Gunma, crafted by Gunma-born Chef Hiro Katayama, who has honed his skills at acclaimed restaurants in Japan and abroad—bringing you the appeal of nature-rich Gunma through every dish. The property also includes a patisserie, bakery, and even three private saunas (all fully enclosed), ensuring an inspiration-filled stay.

  • Dinner and the Hotel’s interiors are works of art.

    The guest rooms, the Hotel facilities, and the dining—everything is wonderfully artistic. Before dinner, I joined an in-house art tour, which was fantastic; I really enjoyed learning about the Hotel’s history, the renovation process, and behind-the-scenes stories leading up to its opening. Dinner was outstanding—each dish by Chef Katayama was delicate, beautiful, and absolutely delicious. I also enjoyed the lounge both before and after dinner, with great drinks and snacks; the beef jerky was exceptional, and I thoroughly enjoyed the wine and beer as well. Breakfast was a delicious Japanese meal made with ingredients from Gunma. This is a Hotel I would definitely love to visit again if I have the chance.

  • It was a Hotel stay ...

    It was a Hotel stay where we could fully enjoy contemporary art. We appreciated the detailed explanations during the in-house tour. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed that day, but we thoroughly enjoyed the lounge’s complimentary drinks. All of the staff were very kind—they lent us an umbrella on a rainy day and even guided us to the bakery. This is a Hotel we would love to stay at again.
