Attractions of Naraya

The attraction of Naraya is the Shirahata Souce of Spring, the oldest in Kusatsu, which is managed by the “Yumori”
(guardian of hot spring water).
Naraya draws from the Shirahata Souce of Spring, which gushes out on the southwest side of the hot-spring field.
The Shirahata Souce of Spring is one of the oldest hot springs in Kusatsu, and is said to have been discovered and
bathed in by Minamoto no Yoritomo.
You can enjoy this hot spring water to your heart’s content in the indoor and outdoor baths in the large public
bathhouse, as well as in the private baths.
What sets Naraya apart from other onsen ryokan is the presence of “yumamori,” or hot-spring guardians. The baths are
always at their best, regardless of the daily temperature and weather conditions, because the “Yumamori” adjusts the
temperature of the hot water being poured into the baths. You can feel the spirit of hospitality in every detail.
