Shiroiya Hotel occupies a 1970s brutalist concrete building in Maebashi, the capital of Gunma Prefecture, redesigned by architect Sou Fujimoto and joined by a new Heritage Tower. The site was a traditional ryokan for 300 years until 2008, reopening in 2020 with a focus on art, architecture and local Joshu cuisine. Its 28 rooms are each individually designed and feature works by a different artist, and the property includes a spa and family-friendly facilities. It suits travellers interested in contemporary art and design who are happy to venture beyond the usual city stops. The main limitation is its location: Maebashi is a regional city well outside Tokyo, so it requires a deliberate journey rather than a casual detour.
