We visited Naraya in autumn.This is my second visit and I was impressed again!Parking lot staff, welcome tea upon arrival, guide to the room, and as usual, the wonderful bath❗️ (source: Shirahata no Yu)And dinner is a kaiseki meal that I always look forward to!All appetizers were delicious!The surprise sushi service at the end was also amazing!For breakfast, I had freshly cooked rice in a small pot, and it was a very satisfying trip to Kusatsu!As expected from Naraya ❗️

The location and bath were great. I also poured hot water on my face and was surprised to see that the blackheads in my pores disappeared.The young woman wearing glasses who was in charge of dinner and breakfast was very hospitable and knowledgeable, and her sense of hospitality permeated through her customer service.However, the old man who was in charge of the reception on the way home was unpleasant as he made the previous customer wait while paying, did not explain carefully how to use the card machine, and was not friendly.When I saw him off, one man simply said "Thank you very much", so I guess it's called a traditional inn. However, if you want to take a bath, I think this is definitely the place to go.

I was lucky enough to get a single room, so I stayed there.Room: Spacious and very comfortable. The toilet is also easy to use. The only drawback is the pillars next to the bed.Inside the building: The hallways are tatami-matted, so I'm glad you don't need slippers.Bath: The atmosphere and hot water are very nice. You can fully enjoy the hot springs of Kusatsu.Food: The concept is clear and the food is delicious. Freshly baked croissants for breakfast are also delicious.Location: Convenient near YubatakeShop: Attached to the cafe bar. The number of items is small. If you want to buy souvenirs, Hotel Ichii in Yubatake is better.Others: Park your car at the Nishi-no-Kawara Park parking lot and take a bus to pick you up. Not having to enter the narrow hot spring field is helpful, but it can be a hassle if you forget something in the car.Compared to other hotels in the same price range, everything was a step above, and I'm really glad I stayed there.

Nowadays, the prices are so high that it is difficult to find accommodations, but the baths and the food are wonderful. Breakfast as well as dinner. White rice and shinko for breakfast. Side dishes. You can enjoy a simple yet excellent breakfast of a high standard. If you were asked to recommend an inn in Kusatsu Onsen, this would be the place to stay.

Thank you for taking care of me on my family trip.It had a good atmosphere, a good location, and the people were nice.The bathroom also had a rustic quality to it, both old and new.There were many human errors, but he had the personality to tolerate them. If it had been anything else, I would have given it a 3 star, thinking, "How many times has this happened!?", but there was something so good about it that made me think otherwise.

The inn I wanted to stay at in Kusatsu Onsen. This is a long-established store that has been around since the Meiji era. It's about a 2 minute walk from Yubatake, so it's easy to go to nearby shops!It was a delicious meal where you could enjoy ingredients from Gunma. Joshu Wagyu beef and Tsumagoi cabbage were delicious😊You can soak in hot water from the Shirahata source, which is the oldest source. The men's and women's hot springs change daily, so I was able to relax in the hot springs twice, once before dinner and before checking out. Is the water hot? That's what I imagined, but it was just the heat I liked.
