Japanese style hotel Naraya. — Hotel in Kusatsu

We stayed in Naraya House for 1 night and it was perfect. The staffs were all very kind and helpful that I am truly grateful for all their assistance given throughout our stay. We had a suite, rm no.206, it was stunningly amazing! I only know I am booking a suite with a beautiful view of the yubatake and private onsen. I didn't know it's a gigantic duplex suite with the best view of the yubatake! The room door opens to a western style living and dining area that fits with a set of sofa for 6 and a dining table for 4 with 2 benches. To the left of this western style area is 2 double beds, a walk-in closet and a toilet. I could see Japanese syle beddings in a cupboard which I believe they would be made when the room is booked for more than 2 persons. Facing the sofa is a TV panel. Behind the TV is a Japanese style sitting area with a coffee table and a view of the yubatake. The view is picturesque. There you can also find a stairs going down to the suite's private onsen bath. It's actually on a balcony overlooking the yubatake, the same gorgeous view as in its Japanese style sitting area above, just without the windows, ie closer and clearer picture of the yubatake without reflections. But be aware ppl on the street can see u too, as you can see the windows r just next to 7.11 The meal provided was fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the freshly made sushi. The salmon roe was just so fresh that they were actually shining like marbles. All the ingredients used are high quality. My kid, who is usually picky on food, was pleased with the menu. He already wanted to come back again. Next time, we will stay here for more nights in order to better experience the beauty of Kusatzu. Ps I usually don't bother to write a review, I am doing this one in return to the hotel's great service and hospitality. Thank you and...

I chose this ryokan after seeing a YouTube video. Did some extra research and made our reservations for a 3-night stay in the room named Kiri. Upon arrival, the staff greeted us and took care of everything, including getting our bags to the room while we were checking in and given an orientation tour. We booked breakfast and dinner with our room, which includes a private dining room for each meal. The meals were outstanding, and my wife was very happy with the quality of the food and the presentations. See the pictures. This ryokan has three private onsens that you can reserve for 45-minute sessions. The cost during our stay was ¥3,300 per session. There are also two public onsens for men & women. They rotate the genders approximately every 12 hours. One side has four baths, including a 1-person carved wood bath, which was a nice experience. This ryokan is also located a few short steps away from the Yubatake. This was definitely a great experience that...

An authentic Japanese ryokan experience with the added convenience of being located in the heart of town, Kusatsu Naraya is an excellent choice. The rooms is spacious and clean.|One of the highlights of Kusatsu Naraya is its onsen facilities. The water, drawn from Kusatsu’s famous hot springs is therapeutic. |The kaiseki offered here was a culinary delight. The staff at Kusatsu Naraya were outstanding – attentive, polite, and always ready to help. They spoke enough English to assist international travelers. |Being located in the town center is another major advantage. Kusatsu Onsen’s iconic Yubatake is just a short walk away. Shops, cafes, and other attractions are all within easy reach, making it convenient for exploring the area.||I highly recommend it for anyone looking to immerse themselves in Japanese culture while enjoying the best of Kusatsu’s natural wonders...
