“Excellent Japanese style hotel”

The hotel is located in the Shibu Onsen area and apart from it's own onsen it gives you access to the historic onsen with 9 traditional baths, each has a different healing hot spring water.

The hotel is located in the Shibu Onsen area and apart from it's own onsen it gives you access to the historic onsen with 9 traditional baths, each has a different healing hot spring water. The hotel is very clean, decorated in typical Japanese style. The rooms are cosy and the beds are very comfortable. In the restaurant they serve traditional Japanese food for breakfast and dinner. If needed there is a shuttle bus from/to the train station and to the Snow Monkey Park. Very convenient.

“Great ryokan stay with great food”

We stayed there for 1 night. We received free pickup and drop off from/to Yudanaka station. It is a newer build. The room is smaller than say Kanaguya but we find it quite comfortable.

We stayed there for 1 night. We received free pickup and drop off from/to Yudanaka station. It is a newer build. The room is smaller than say Kanaguya but we find it quite comfortable. Their outdoor onsen at the rooftop is amazing, with the view of the town in the snow. The dinner and breakfast included is of high quality and I found better than Kanaguya. We upgraded our dinner to Beef steak prior to stay via email. Their service is excellent.

The moment we stepped into the ryokan, we immediately felt welcome. We had a room on the 4th floor. It was spacious and bright. We had 2 hours before supper, so we quickly changed into our yukata and went onsen hopping. We were given a key to go to 9 different onsens. There were thicker yukata jackets for going out into the cold. We put on Japanese clogs, and walking in them was quite an experience. We tried so hard not to thump as we walked along the quaint old street on those clogs, lol. We weren't able to use all 9 onsens as some of them were too hot even just for our toes. We felt rejuvenated after soaking in a few. Our dinner was scrumptious. Everything was well presented. All ingredients were locally sourced. The next morning, breakfast was just as good. They made our bed while we were having dinner. Felt so warm and cozy. After dinner, we used their on-site onsen. I had the outdoor onsen all to myself. When we checked out the next day, the same lady who checked us in went outside to see us off. She waved goodbye to us until our car turned the corner at the end of the long narrow road. Wow, what hospitality! We have so much to learn from their culture.

“An experience not to be missed.....”

This Ryokan is located in a traditional Onsen village, with a nice, peaceful & old quaint atmosphere. There are many ( think it's 9) public onsens in the area which guests can also use, besides the inhouse one. Room is typical ryokan with tatami bed & inroom bath. Place is very clean.

This Ryokan is located in a traditional Onsen village, with a nice, peaceful & old quaint atmosphere. There are many ( think it's 9) public onsens in the area which guests can also use, besides the inhouse one. Room is typical ryokan with tatami bed & inroom bath. Place is very clean. Service is par excellence! Very warm & friendly staff ( few speak English) all round makes you feel welcome. Staff will set up your bed( tatami) while one have their dinner. Traditional set Breakfast & Dinner (included) are very good quality, very traditional & excellent . Great inhouse onsen. Hotel can pick/send guests from/to train station ( from 1.30pm onwards only) . Also one way to Monkey Park. Easy bus access on main road. Only negative thing is this Ryokan is located at the end of a long uphill walk along the onsen village ( tough dragging heavy luggages or even just walking back). We arrive around 11am, so they can't pick us from train station. Took a bus & walk up & waited. Thankfully the nice lady ( think she is the owner) came to open door earlier to put our luggages. But no big issue. Lots of shops were not opened but some opened later in evening. Great experience not to be missed.
