We were picked up from the train and immediately got a ride to the monkey park, a major reason for our visit. The hotel then sent a shuttle to pick us up and return us to the hotel where our luggage had already been taken to the room. This was a more traditional place with shoe removal and slippers provided. Dinner was incredible despite my not loving a few of the items in the set course menu. Breakfast was equally fulfilling. We did not take advantage of the public onsens due to our short visit but did use the private onsen in site. At the end of the stay we were driven back to the train station for our departure and given a small token of candies. An excellent stay!

Superb onsen experience. Our room was very clean with comfortable tatami/futon. Outdoor and indoor onsen was very pleasant as were the private onsen. Kaiseki was delicious and filling. Most of all staff and owners were very welcoming and kind. Will come back.

The staff was amazing. Very friendly and professional. I especially like the fact that they picked us up from our bus stop and took us to Snow monkey River. Thereafter, we called them, and they picked us up and took us to the hotel. The private onsen was amazing. I enjoyed it. The 13 course meal was exceptional and tasty This is a must place hotel to be at because they make the whole transition from the bus stop to their place very easy. There is a couple that runs the place and they are helpful, professional, and beautiful!!!

We had the best time at the Shibu Hotel! The staff was so friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate us and make us feel welcome in their little slice of paradise. Our room was beautiful! We were given rides to and from the train station, rides to and from snow monkey park, two great meals, and friendly helpful service at every juncture. The hotel’s private and public onsen’s are great but don’t miss out on the public bath house tour!!! The hotel perfectly placed in the middle of the public bath house tour and will give you a map and a key to access each little bath. One of the best experiences of our entire Japan trip (or any trip). I would also pick one night to and try one of the local restaurants. We loved our smokey bar and home closing experience at a place down the road called Chokkun Izakaya.

Kazuyoshi and family was so nice and kind. They provided the highest quality service and hospitality we’ve had so far ever! Their property is so healing and peaceful with their on property private Onsen’s. Their close location to the snow monkey park was so worth it as well! Their dining experience was so amazing and delicious! We will bring our family back for sure.
Mahalo and Aloha Kazuyoshi San and family! Much respect and a Big Thank you! Jya mata!

Beautiful historic property. Comfortable rooms. The hot spring baths make this a must. Very close to snow monkey park and the best part - they will shuttle you from the train station, to the hotel, to the monkey park, to dinner and to the train station. Staff is very helpful. Awesome place.

The most wonderful place, beautiful location and kind service. The private onsen is definitely worth the visit. And the food service is traditional and generous. Only a few minutes from the snow monkeys and the staff will take you there and pick you up.

Shibu Hotel is very beautiful. Our Deluxe Twin room looks like new. The room is much larger than advertised. We were lucky to book half board as the private dining room is beautiful and the staff is just so courteous. The meals are so beautifully decorated and delicious. The onsen is clean and very warm. We were picked up from the train station and were driven to the Snow Monkey Park. We love this place and will definitely come back.

The Shibu Hotel is a family run ryokan. The service level is beyond exceptional. They both fulfilled everything we wanted before we asked, but found ways to make our stay more pleasant than we had thought of.
The kaiseki dinners and Japanese breakfasts were rich, varied and authentic. And again the staff that served us were exceptional.
While we enjoyed the village onsens, the onsens at the Shibu Hotel were our favorites.

A fantastic place to stay. The staff are just exceptional. Was very kindly welcomed and was offered transport to and from the monkey park. In detail instructions for the onsens were provided along with the traditional robes and shoes. I highly recommend staying here. Just ensure you contact the property with you train arrival time asap so you don’t have to walk from the station

Stunning traditional Japanese hotel, with onsen onsite. The kaiseki meals were spectacular, and they accommodated dietary requirements impressively well. Fantastic place to stay.
