Narayama

My husband (an American who loves hot springs) and I had a very satisfying 3-day, 2-night stay. We enjoyed relaxed breakfasts and dinners in a private dining room, and we especially loved having sushi freshly made right in front of us. The room was spacious, and the sofa was very large, so we could truly unwind. If we come back to Kusatsu Onsen again, we would love to stay at Naraya again.

Among the many inns in Kusatsu Onsen, I had always wanted to stay at Naraya, and my wish finally came true.I’d long been intrigued by its historic exterior, and once I actually stayed there, I found it to be a wonderful building full of history.Our room was on the Comfort Floor and was more than spacious enough, allowing us to relax at ease.I also heard that their signature baths switch between men and women at night and in the morning, so we were able to enjoy both.What especially stands out at this ryokan is the food. Dinner was served course-style in sequence, and there was even a service where sushi was prepared right in front of us,and just as the wall art says, we truly felt “I’m so full.” Breakfast was equally lavish, with freshly baked croissants as well—again leaving us thinking, “I’m so full.”The attendants and staff were all young, giving this long-established ryokan a wonderfully lively atmosphere.If I visit Kusatsu Onsen again, I would definitely love to stay here once more.
