Review: Very unique traditional onsen experience! Staff were very kind and helpful. Only stayed on night but it was perfect, very close to Yudanaka train station and Snow Monkey Park bus station, and only a mile walk from Shibu Hot Springs! Thank you very much. , by Michael

Review: Dirty, old and loaded with bugs. Don’t book here. Stayed at tons of hotels on our 3 week tour. This place was the only one that really grossed us out. Stay further up the valley in Shibu Osen… when we walked there at night we were full of regret., by Edward

Review: The hosts were very accommodating. We had a lovely room but it was adjacent to another room with a large group. Being that the hotel was more of a traditional style ryokan, by Anonymous traveller

Review: We booked the Shibu Hotel as part of our plan to visit the nearby Snow Monkey Park. The quality of the hotel sevice was immediately evident when they provided a car to collect us from the station. They then drove us to the Snow Monkey Park and arranged to collect us when we had finished our visit. (In passing, the Snow Monkey Park is a 'must see' in the winter - spectacular views of dozens of macaque monkeys enjoying the hot thermal springs.) On our return to the hotel, we were 'immersed' in the..., by WES, 17 January 2016, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: The hotel and staff were amazing and more than we could have expected. No question was too silly and no request was out of the question. It was really easy to get to aswell, just a 6 minute walk from the train station. Even though it was so close the area and hotel was still so quiet and very very peaceful. K the concierge was so patient with us, as not local speakers, and was just so thoughtful in his explanations of the hotel and local area as well as organising transport and tips for the..., by Mr Thomas P, 26 February 2019, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: Was a most wonderful and relaxing experience. Only the fact that the indoor pool is closed for the whole month of June was disappointing., by Ian, 16 June 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: A bit of a culture change for the uninitiated, but this hotel is incredible. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Breakfasts are just lovely and served in a traditional environment that sets you up for the day. Wish we could have stayed for longer., by Michael, 9 March 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: Had a lovely stay at this Ryokan and would highly recommended it. Staff were kind & accomandating and made sure I felt welcome as a solo traveller. When they heard I intended to visit the monkey park the day I arrived, they especially arranged for transportation to take me there. The ryokan is english-friendly, especially my server for dinner who could hold a conversation. Food featured local ingredients and was excellent., by Anonymous traveller, 20 February 2023, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: This was our first ryokan experience and we couldn’t have been more impressed. The staff were fantastic, the kaiseki dinner and breakfast were incredible and our room, with a private Onsen, was stunning. The area around the hotel is so picturesque. We had a great time exploring the streets, in our provided yukata, trying all the public onsen. We will certainly be back to Shibu Onsen, by Mark, 30 September 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: Hi these gems are very rare, the people are incredible, the food is amazing you feel incredibly special, and nothing is too much trouble. A highlight of our trip to Japan., by Amanda, 15 April 2018, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: This hotel was an incredible experience from the moment we arrived at the station where a staff member of the hotel was waiting to pick us up with a shuttle to the hotel without us even requesting that service. We were greeted with a warm welcome at this beautiful hotel with green tea, shown to our beautiful room and the lovely staff explained the amenities available. The room was comfortable, the multicourse meal that evening was top quality and because of the special occasion we were surprised..., by emma, 11 March 2017, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: We were looking for a more traditional Japenese experience whilst also wanting to see the Snow Monkeys and this place did not disappoint! Free shuttle from the station to the hotel and we were greeted by very lovely staff members who gave us really useful info on the hotel and the onsen’s within the village. The hotel comes with 9 onsen’s which you can book and get private use through ur the day (no need to book after certain times, you just enter and lock the door). The hotel is also part of..., by Matthew, 31 May 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: The property is a bit old, but kept clean and guests are very well looked after, hosts are great. Perfect location for snow monkeys., by Alex, 8 February 2025, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: I will be up front, this is an older property with some older sensibilities, not everything is pristine and glistening and new. What you do get however is one of the most charming bath houses, set against a backdrop of stunning mountains. It is a family run business and they will and do go the extra mile for their guests. I cannot reccomend more than if you are going to see the snow monkey park nearby that you stay here, enjoy the fantastic ambiance, a thoroughly musical breakfast and some of..., by Pierre, 6 March 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: Would highly recommend this inn for a stay in the Japanese Alps. The staff are absolutely amazing - nothing is too much trouble for them and they're always around to offer you help and support. There is a free shuttle service both to and from the train station and up to the Monkey park. The rooms are spacious and we were very comfortable on our futons ☺️ The onsen hopping is also a great attraction...worth the trip out of the city to see!, by Kathy, 27 February 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: A really great overnight stay in a traditional Ryokan including a private Onsen and a 10 course meal. The staff were really attentive and the free lift to and from Obuse station worked really well., by David, 24 June 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent
