The art destination “Shiriya Hotel” opened in December 2020 with the aim of contributing to the revitalization of Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture. After Shiraiya Ryokan, which boasted a history of more than 300 years, went out of business, architect Sou Fujimoto renovated the existing building from the 1970s and built a new building, which became a hot topic as artists and designers from Japan and abroad collaborated. Selected as one of the 39 Best Hotels in the World in 2021 by National Geographic Traveler. With a focus on authenticity in art, architecture, design, wellbeing, music, and food, we provide a place where residents and visitors can meet, stimulate the five senses, and experience a new culture.
