🏨 Art, Architecture, and Light — Staying at SHIROIYA HOTEL, Maebashi

#hellohalloween Designed and renovated by the acclaimed architect Sosuke Fujimoto, the SHIROIYA HOTEL (Heritage Tower) in Maebashi is a masterpiece that redefines the concept of a “living museum.” The four-story atrium, preserved from the building’s original dye factory structure, creates a breathtaking open space filled with natural light and a sense of history blending seamlessly with modern design. Inside, your eyes are immediately drawn to the “Lighting Pipes” — intricate networks of exposed piping that come alive each night. At 9 p.m., the lights shift colors, transforming the entire space into a dreamlike landscape. It’s an enchanting, unexpected detail that makes staying here a truly immersive experience. The hotel also showcases works by renowned contemporary artists, including Tatsuo Miyajima, whose luminous installation can be seen atop the Green Tower. Each piece, space, and corridor tells a story — making the SHIROIYA HOTEL not just a place to stay, but a journey through creativity and imagination. 📍 SHIROIYA HOTEL, Maebashi #shiroiyahotel #maebashi #designhotel #sosukefujimoto #tatsuomiyajima #architecturelovers #artanddesign #japantravel
