About this ryokan

♨️Free-flowing Kusatsu spring water in a patented three-tier 'Shiriyaki' bath, 3 minutes from Yubatake

Gunma · Kusatsu Onsen Kirishimaya Ryokan

A Long-Established Inn with Edo-Era Roots

📜The inn began as Kiriya, an Edo-period restaurant near Sainokawara; after a great fire it reopened as an inn on the street below today's site and became Kirishimaya around the Taisho–Showa era.
📚Its name appears in a travel book by the Edo-period author Jippensha Ikku, and guests have included a former prime minister and foreign ambassadors.
🏺Collection pieces on display include an 1879 map of Kusatsu Onsen, a Taisho-era safe and a 93 cm decorative platter.

The Three-Tier 'Shiriyaki' Bath

♨️The baths use 100% natural hot spring water flowing straight from the source, often turning milky white with floating yunohana mineral flakes.
🪵A patented Japanese red pine tub is split into high (46–48℃), middle (42–44℃) and low tiers, so the hot Kusatsu water is never diluted.
🔥In the middle tier you sit your hips over a spring outlet — the unique bathing style that gives the bath its name.

Open-Air, Private and Indoor Baths

🌿A tiny open-air bath, called the smallest in Kusatsu, looks out over greenery.
🔑The private bath fits two adults, is free, needs no reservation and is open 24 hours — just hang the wooden 'in use' tag.
🧪Spring types include acidic hydrogen sulfide and acidic alum springs; the two indoor baths swap between men and women daily (only one has the open-air bath).

Bright South-Facing Tatami Rooms

🪟Every room is tatami and faces south, with a table set by the window to enjoy spring cherry blossoms, summer greenery and autumn leaves.
🛏️8-tatami rooms sleep 1–3 and have a toilet with bidet; 10-tatami rooms sleep 3–5 and use shared toilets.
📺Rooms have satellite TV, free Wi-Fi, fridge, safe and individual heating; hair dryers, irons and humidifiers are available to borrow.

Bed & Breakfast Style

🍚No dinner is served — breakfast-only B&B stays keep the price affordable.
🍵Breakfast is served in the 40-tatami hall from 8:00 or 8:30 a.m.
🍶Soft-drink vending machines are on site, and alcohol can be bought at the front desk.

Manga Room and Facilities

📖A tatami lounge stocked with over 1,000 manga and a lobby with Othello and shogi make for relaxed evenings.
🧺Washing machines and detergent are free; dryers cost 300 yen per load. There is also a self check-in machine and a smoking room.
🏳️‍🌈Guests with small fashion tattoos may use the shared baths, and the inn will try to arrange private use of the shared baths for LGBTQ+ guests on request.

Strolling Kusatsu Onsen

🚶Yubatake, the heart of the hot spring town, is a 3-minute walk, yet the inn sits quietly beside Kakoiyama Park.
🌊The official site recommends Yubatake, Netsunoyu, the Sainokawara open-air bath and Sainokawara street nearby.
❄️In winter the garden and town are blanketed in snow, visible from the guest room windows.

Access & Practical Info

🚗Free parking for 20 cars.
⏰Check-in 14:00–22:00, check-out by 10:00; cash and credit cards accepted.
🧥At 1,200 m above sea level mornings and evenings are cool even in summer, and the Shiga-Kusatsu Kogen Route closes in winter.
