SHIROIYA HOTEL

Wonderful hotel where all room are unique and filled with our favorite artists installations everywhere! Food is amazing as well! Vegetarian options are available for breakfast ( Japanese style bento box food) We stayed at Jasper Morrison’s wood box room (fantastic!) and joined free art tour. The stuff is very nice and explained us about behind stories of each art.

My wife and I stayed at Shiroiya Hotel, and it was quite simply the finest hotel experience I have ever had. We booked a basic room, yet even this entry-level accommodation ranks among the best rooms I’ve stayed in anywhere. It was beautifully appointed and thoughtfully curated, featuring artwork from a single artist that gave the space a cohesive and contemplative feel. The lobby and shared spaces were nothing short of extraordinary—among the most visually breathtaking hotel environments I’ve ever encountered. The architecture and art created a sense of awe; no matter where your eyes landed, you were met with a carefully composed, gallery-like view. My wife and I especially loved spending time in the serene lobby, surrounded by plants and artwork, enjoying the complimentary evening drinks in an atmosphere of quiet comfort and elegance. The absolute highlight, however, was dinner at the hotel’s restaurant. Dining on the course menu by Hiro Katayama and his team was the finest dining experience of my life. The choreography of the evening, the chef, sous chefs, and servers working in seamless harmony, was masterful. Each course was visually stunning, and every time, that visual beauty was followed by flavors that were even more astonishing. It was impossible to choose a favorite dish. Our only regret was staying just one night. We were en route to Kusatsu Onsen, but by the end of our stay, my wife and I both agreed we should have spent at least another night at Shiroiya.

Unique hotel with sophisticated building and room design. The staffs were very polite and were quick to handle small issues I encountered.

Perfect and historical place and excellent services made me relaxed.

The best home away from home
