Ryokan Naraya

Founded in 1877, this is a long-established Ryokan (Japanese inn) with over 100 years of history. Although it is a long-established Ryokan (Japanese inn) it is clean and you will have a comfortable stay. The inn draws water from Shirahata no Yu, which is said to be the oldest hot spring source in Kusatsu Onsen, and is staffed by "Yumori", a craftsman who looks after the water, to create a mellow bath. The Japanese-modern rooms are spacious and you can spend a relaxing time. There are also rooms with a view of the Yubatake.

Naraya is a long-established inn founded in 1877, located right next to the Yubatake. This inn has a Japanese atmosphere, and you can choose between a Japanese-style room in the Shoin style or a modern Japanese-Western Japanese and Western room. The inn has a tasteful indoor bath and an open-air bath, where you can enjoy the free-flowing water from the Shirohata hot spring, the oldest hot spring in Kusatsu. There are also private baths (open-air and indoor), so you can bathe alone. Dinner is kaiseki（a traditional Japanese multiple course meal ）made with local seasonal ingredients. You can dine in your room or in a private dining room, so you can dine without worrying about others watching you.

This inn draws water from the oldest hot spring in Kusatsu, the Shirahata Onsen, and the bathhouse keeper manages the temperature without adding water or heating. There are a total of six indoor and outdoor baths that use this water. There are also three other types of private baths that can be reserved after checking in. It is just a short walk from the Yubatake, making it convenient for sightseeing.

This Ryokan (Japanese inn) is Ryokan (Japanese inn) of the best in Kusatsu Onsen, and although the prices are a little high because of its prestige, I think it makes sense. You will be satisfied because it is Ryokan (Japanese inn) that is convincing even if you look at the rankings. It has an old-fashioned atmosphere and I think it is very nice.
